Hey Everyone,
alright so this may be stupid but my buddy and I were going back and forth and he's more of a car guy than me so I'm taking his word, but figured it'd be better to confirm it on here. Alright, so when I got my car, the tire pressure system came on and I checked the pressures and they were all around 40 psi with the exception of one that was indeed at like 37ish. Per the title, those are the tires that came on my new 17 SI. Okay, now the question: My dad always taught me growing up to keep the tires around 33-32 psi, therefore, seeing them at 30, i lowered them to 33 front 32 rear (per owners manual). I started to hear tons of screeching on normal stops, normal turns, and accelerations, not high RPM acceleration of the line or anything. My buddy said they're sport tires with a max psi of 51 (per on the tire) and suggested I put them to 47ish psi, like he did on his STI with 51 max psi tires. said I could be doing excessive wear by running the 51 max psi at 33 and would explain the screeching. just trying to figure out what the ideal pressure to be running these at here in the fall. Thanks in advance.
