I've got the 2006 M35 Sport
What should I keep the tires at? I think the tires say 51, but looking for recommendations for these performance 19 inch.
Thanks

Re: Tire Pressure ?? (pinup22)
Welcome to NICO!
For good overall balance between high enough to get a good load index value and low enough to avoid funny tire wear, the right value is somewhere between 36 and 40psi. I run 36psi - measured properly: cold tires, no miles driven, in the garage, in the morning, before the sun has a chance to warm it up even a bit.
I'd recommend starting at 36psi and moving up if you want different road feel and wear, but try not to go past 40psi. Measure it every 2 weeks regularly and top off to the correct value as needed. Good digital pressure gauge, of course. Radio Shack sells one from Accutire for around $15 or so.

51 is max allowed pressure for the tire. That is not the right pressure to keep it at for normal use.pinup22 wrote:I've got the 2006 M35 Sport
