I have 225's on 17x8 rims.

The limit on my tires say 51psi, but I'm scared to because the tires look kinda stretched on a 8 inch wide rim. It's currently at 41 psi, and very grippy. I feel like I would improve a lot on mpg if i increased my psi, but wondering if it is safe to do that.

Any inputs?

Thanks in advance!

i think my tire limit is 40psi, seems too high to be running anymore than 40

 

Tire pressure recommendation should be on a sticker on driver side door.

 

they vary by tire and size

 

Just run 35psi or at least keep it under 40psi otherwise you will start having more tire wear down the center of the tire.

 

it has more to do with the weight of the car then tire size. but 35 is a good day to day psi. i go 38 front 35 rear

 

35 psi cold on mine too.

 

36/32 f/r... right?

 

oh and 225s should not look stretched on an 8" rim

 

can you guys verify your tire sizes? i would imagine it would differ by size of tire.

 

It also differs from the brand of tires also. Sidewall design differs.

 

255/35/18 for mine.

 

ive got 225/45/17 star specs on 17x7.5 torques and i never run more than 40 psi

i had the star specs on a 17x8 and it was no where near looking stretched

 

hmm alright thanks. guess i should deflate some from my tires
