Tire Pressure
Does anyone know what the recommended tire pressure would be for 215/40/17 on a 7x17 rim? Mine look like they need some air but not sure what to fill them to. The car is normally unladen with only the driver.

Re: Tire Pressure
US pressure:
15" 32psi 16" 34psi I would try 35psi for the 17". If the RS has 17" stock then find a dealer that sells them and look at the factory sticker with the proper inflation settings. Hope this helps. [ 11-17-2001: Message edited by: G1-Focus ]</p> |

Re: Tire Pressure
38-40 psi no less u will run thee risk of bending a wheel also blowing the sidewall out of the tire. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

also... what should the pressure be with the rim OFF of the car, so that when the rim is put on the car, it'll be all set and driveable?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I'm running this size tire (Michelin Pilots) at 44 psi. |

Re: Tire Pressure
this is also dependent on the tire. go with the manufacturer's specs, they've burst and pinch-flatted enough of them to know
