19" tire pressure

Sniz · 01-31-2008, 09:12 PM

What tire pressure is everyone running on their 19's? I have 275/30/19 in the rear and same as everyone else in the front.

I just set my tires to 36/39 front/rear cold psi. The shop that installed them last week set them to 47psi all around!

Just curious what everyone is using.......I'm on General Exclaims.

im running 38/41 f/r on 19" 265/30 generals. 36 seems a tad low for the fronts.

Sniz · 01-31-2008, 09:28 PM

after looking at the manual, I think i'll bump them to 39/41 before I head out.

dam the shop told me 32psi for 19's

Many members run diff numbers because of their own preference of how stiff or nimble they want the ride to be. I do 36 in front and 40 in rear.

34 front 38 rear.

Why are these differences between the fronts and rears?

I do it because the manual showed those numbers. If you look in the back in the index under "changing wheels" it give you recommended psi for different size wheels/tires.

I'm going to go with 37 or 38psi in the front and 39/40 in the rear and see how I like it. I'm going to have to adjust my coilovers now though....having the tires at 47/48psi surely made my coilovers feel extra stiff.

After this ice storm leaves of course....don't want to end up in a ditch, got my GMC Sierra for that nonsense.
