Tire pressure on aftermarket wheels ?
These may seem like a stupid question (well it does to me!) but what pressures should I be running on my 19" tires? Does everyone use the stock, nissan recommended pressures, no matter what wheel/tire combination they run?
On one hand, I was thinking with the lower profile I should maybe run slightly higher pressures.
Then on the other hand I'm thinking the increase in surface area of the tires (due to their increased width) would spread the load more and thus require less air pressure
Anyway....what's the correct thing to do????
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info guys.......
I eventually got in touch with Toyo (I run Proxes 245/35/19 Fr & 275/35/19 Rr)
They told me to run 42psi front ant 30-35 Rear. Seems like 42 up front is a little high but they say it's to do with the difference in load rating from stock tires.
I'll let you know how it feels with these pressures.
I can't believe this hasn't been a big topic in the past.
Cheers

Webrits from my information charts I would suggest 30 psi in your rear tires and 36 psi in the fronts to start with. This is base on the tire load range of the OEM tire vs. the one you are running on your car.
