Seriously, most car and tire combination's have a sweet spot they work best at. Different tires than engineered and spec'd on the car may have softer or stiffer sidewalls that may require a change in the pressures. IMO the factory recommendation with these tires are pretty spot on. Raising them to 40 will result in a reduced contact patch, sketchier braking and traction, and odd tire wear patterns. The Tyre Bible is always a good read if you haven't done so: Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tyre Bible Page 1 of 4 |

Wait, you can turn the tire pressure warning on? I didn't touch anything. It came on one day. I check the pressure and got them up to 35 psi and it's still there. Didn't happen with my TL. I guess I have a bad sensor :(
|
i run 37.5psi on my hobby cars. both have recommendation of 35psi but it's too mushy for my motoring needs.
in the winter time when i hiberate the cars, i usually put 40psi or more to compensate for the colder temps inside the garage in the winter. about 1psi per 10F change. |
That's doorjamb.

Folks that don't know much about cars are regularly put at risk by bad set-up practices. 45 psi in the tires, Spring shipping spacers not removed, wrong locking lugs installed....I could go on and on.. |
I always put an extra 2 psi in for fuel efficiency.
I recently purchased a good tyre pressure gauge... many of our local service station air pumps have wrong readouts... but they're consistent at least... My preferred place always has a 1 psi difference to my gauge... dunno which one's right... =/ don't know if it makes a difference... |
I was going to raise an exact same thread on this. The recommended tire pressure is indeed 2.4 bar but somehow I find this abit twitchy on our roads and actually like it when I pump it to 2.6bar. It feels stable and suprisingly planted compared to 2.4, weirdly.. it should have been the other way round I would've thought..
