tire pressure for 19" set up
Hello all. This is my first post to the forum and have enjoyed your content for a while now.

I had 19" wheels and 235/30-19 and 265/30-19 Goodyear F1 tires installed today. My question is this, do I use the tire pressures prescribed for the original 17"'s as found in the manual or are there other pressures that are ideal for the 19" set up?

Thanks for your help.

Are you sure you have the correct tire sizes? Your front should be 235/35/19.

The tire pressures for 19's are different than 17's. Try 38 psi front and 36 psi rear. I found this setup the best.

Thanks Harris
My mistake, you're right 235/35 in the front 265/30's in the rear.

Thanks for the pressure advice, must appreciated.
