Tyre Pressure

[laner1965]

hi guys , got myself an 04 plate evo 8 , with the standard alloys , what tyre pressure should i put in . as i ain,t got a clue lol.

it should tell you on the wall of the tyre. look for the dot date, if the tyre is new the dot is red. you will find a four number digit IE (5209) meaning the tyre was manufacted 52th week of 2009, sometimes in small print below or next to that marking will be the max PSI load.

You will be fine with 30psi on the front and back, but check the label on the drivers side door.

just looked on mine eariler for you, 17'' alloy with 225/45/17 max load says 51psi, usually i put in around 35psi

hi mate im a tyre fitter and ive got an evo 8 fq330 running 235/45/17 correct tyre pressure is 32psi or 2.3 bar

 

[ElDopesta]

35psi???
Plenty of tread ware to be achieved right there!!!

got 30psi on front and 32psi on my rear, tyre fitter put that in

 

[ElDopesta]

Generally 30 is a good number on the evo's, don't forget there is a 60-40 power ratio so realistically you need to compensate for that added kick n the bends.

As for you Mark, your fronts need to be on 18 so they don't catch your arches lol!!!!

ha, if only that was possible. Gonna take a proper look at them tomorrow, wish it was a simple swap over Evo 6 Alloys on evo 4 and be done with it.

 

[ElDopesta]

Get it sorted mate.

Better in the long run.

will be going to imperial tyres monday to get wheels aligned aswell, get some camber/castor on them as my old tyres had uneven wear in the inside off the tyres.

30 psi all round best.

32 psi for 5 heads in car for long run.

check pressures always on cold for correct reading.
