Shouldn't be much different than the 19" stock pressures, which you could use as a starting point. Front pressures should be lower than the rear. Track pressures are a whole different matter.

what is so difficult by doing it yourself? and you should check your pressure every 2 weeks or so, if you're low are you going to drive to the dealership just for them to do it? by a tire pressure gauge and drive to a gas station or buy a compressor and do it at home...

yeap, it's amazing how many people do not check their tire pressures regularly. It's much worse then people checking their oil.

It's not even just the pressure you should be checking...you should be looking for irregular wear etc. I can't tell you how many times I saw customers who would come in with cords exposed and try to blame the tire......WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU EVEN INSPECTED IT!!!


You should check your pressure atleast 1x a month...check for wear every 1,000 miles.....and check your oil level every other fill up!!

I check once a week. Since I can almost throw a rock at the Discount Tire store I run it over there all the time.
