Just got my Michelin PSS

My Michelin PSS just came in. Going to get them installed in a bit. Wanted to ask you guys, what psi should I run on these? They are 245 front and 275 rear. I will update this thread after I do some driving to give you guys my initial thoughts!

I would start with 35 psi. In the summer I run 32 psi since it's so hot here and I am too cheap to fill with nitrogen.

^ Yeah 35 psi all around for daily driving, you can drop it a few (32-34) psi for a little more comfort or bump it up a few psi (36-38) for possibly a little more response/mpg/wear if inflated too much.

depends on what you're going to use them for.

for daily driving i run mine around 34. if i'm headed out for a spirited drive run them a little harder at 36 (they seem to handle a little better).

these are absoutely the best tires you can get hands down. you'll love them.


enjoy!

Ahh I see. So even though I have bigger sizes in the back, I should stick with same psi all around? And fronts are 245/40/19 rears are 275/35/19. You guys are making me excited aha. Actually had to take a Trip to the dealership today and I was there for most of the day so I'll get my tires put on tomorrow morning. I am also ordering Hotchkis sway bars Tomorrow so I can't wait to throw those on as well!

Your going to be real happy with the sways and also the tires. I installed both and found the sways alone are great and the tires just add to the upgrade. Enjoy.

^ Agree with the above, I installed sways and it exaggerated how crappy my tires are. I have since ordered a new set.

Right on. I'm stoked. From what I've read, most set the rear setting to medium. What about the front?

My stock tires are on their way out as well, at almost 20,000 miles. I am not looking forward to replacing my tires so soon, but I am looking forward to getting these Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that everyone is talking about.

I've read so many great things about these tires ... but probably going to stick to the OEM sizes (225/45/19 + 245/40/19). Will wait for a tire sale since my OEM Bridgestones are bald on the shoulders in the front ... but I have about 4/32" in the rears (I drive like a granny and don't light up the tires on my 6MT). I'm guessing I have about 25k miles on them (since I have dedicated winters) ... would never want the 050A on any car!!!

Looking forward to the PSS! (Now ... people have me thinking of getting aftermarket sways ...)
