pirelli Pzero's PSI?

I have had these tires a while and im unsure that to keep the psi at.

For those of you with these tires, what do you keep the psi at.

I had the EL-42's and they sucked and had the fronts wearing down. Before I left for school in MA I switch to the pirelli's and have no complaints. I also kept the back two tires because they were fine. Just want to know what the best psi is for these on this car.

Its and 04 TL btw

Well, I have just got them and for now, I'm keeping the fronts at 34 and the rears at 33. I don't know if I'll have to change them after I install my CT RSB.

I'll experiment more when the weather breaks. Although we are having a warm winter here in NY.

Regardless of the tire I would keep 10% higher pressure in the fronts than the rears. For thr Pirellis, I would go with 37 in front and 33 in the back as a starting point. You can then experiment from there.

Anyone running 18" w/ pzero M/S? What are you guys doing for PSI?

I've been running 39/36 per factory spec, but looked at my front/rear wear pattern and fronts were wearing out to the 2nd most outer wear nubs, with about 50% of the 2nd row of nubs still there. Rears had a full 3 outer sets of wear nubs with almost 100% on the 3rd ring. I suppose this might be due to fronts taking more of the cornering force and that this is why you rotate your tires, but wanted to see what other's experience has been.

I notched my rears down 1 PSI to 39/35 so we'll see how that feels tomorrow.

I've had mine for for about 1 year. I have almost 35k miles on them. I drive 86 miles per day round trip for work, all highway @ 80 mph.

Do a search and you'll find more than enough info about the PZeros ... and the tire pressure depends on what size tires/rims you have and on AT or 6MT ... but either way the tire pressure is in the manual and on the side door sticker ... like on most cars.

Just make sure you check them on a regular basis when cold ... psi fluctuates with temperature.

As far as how long they last ...really depends on your driving style.

I keep my Zeros at 32, I like the comfort and they handle well enough at that pressure for my liking. I drive highway-suburb mix.
