I'm new to this forum, and I have a question about tire inflation pressures. I am running a set of Champiro 205/40 ZR17 84W tires mounted on Focal K5-17 rims. The tires tell me the max inflation pressure is 49 PSI, the vehicle they are mounted on is a 2002 mazda Protege 5. The placard for the car says inflation pressure should be at 32 PSI. what pressure should I inflate the tire to?
Keeping in mind that the stock tires are only 16 inch not 17's. Should I still follow the car manufactures recomendations or do I need to increase or decrease the pressure so my tires wear evenly?
