    Default tire inflation

    hey guys, stupid question here but does 50PSI seem really high for a 35-profile tire? I don't really kow but it seems like a lot. That's what it says on the tire though. Any thoughts? And sorry for making everyone a little dumber for asking this!!

    i can not see that being the recommanded tire pressure but the max psi yes and you do not want to be at the max.

    start off from the factory specs and adjust from there.

    depending on your camber if you have any dont know if you are lowered but the "rule of thumb" is increase from factory spec at least 2lbs per inch you increase so if your factory rims were 15 and you went to 18 you would increase by 6lbs and then add about 1lb for every degree you are off camber. It really depends on the person though! I few degrees either way will not hurt you. lower inflation=better launching and higher inflation= better handling. Hope that helped.
