Hello all,
just wondering,those of you with 19's, what air pressure are you running?
thx.

F36-38psi, R38-40psi

35 psi both 255F/285R

Off topic but I noticed you have a 68 GTS. 340 or 383?

340. this was my high school car. have had it for only 30 years!

I've only had my 19's for a few weeks now & have been running 36X4. seems to work ok, but not sure what they should be at. wanted to see what every one else was doing. Thank you.

Your GTS looks sharp. Same color as mine. Except I have the black top. Mines a 383 auto. It was my first car so I've owned mine since High School as well but that was only 14 years back. My best friend also owns a 383 4speed Formula S that he bought shortly after I got my GTS.

Mine is also an auto. Original color was rust with black vinyl top.

Like to see a photo when you get a chance.

Have you noticed Mopars are finally get the attention they deserve.
Been to many a car show and mostly you see Ford & Chev. and just a few token Mopars 1 or 2 including mine. Just the past few years I have been seeing more. Nice to here there are others out there.

38f, 42r

I run 36 cold but the roads where I live are generally good. I would run a little higher if your roads are weak to offset some hard hits. I had Maya's when I first got my ride and bent two of them- I know my HRE's are stronger.

Wouldn't running a higher tire pressure protect the rims from a pot whole by preventing the tire from compressing and allowing the pot whole to hit the rims? I know you get a harder ride but handling should improve as long as you don't over inflate.

tbone and OzE55, I'm wondering why do you run higher pressure in the rear? I always thought running higher in the front and lower in the rear was better for handling.

The handling is fine for my modest needs - city and highway driving.
I was advised to use the higher pressures as I had bent two front rims.
I suppose the rears are less vulnerable because they dont have a big lump of iron sitting over them - but taking no chances now.

Ditto for me, except for 1 bent front rim. Why a higher pressure in the rear? Only because that's what the tire store recommended, and I didn't even ask why...my car is just a daily driver

The weight distribution of E55 is biased to the rear, (48%F vs. 52%R). If you add any passengers, to the front or rear seats, most of that extra weight goes to the rear axle. Check you tire placard. That additional load requires a little more pressure in the rear tires to compensate, or you will be riding on flat tires.
Having said that, the need to counter understeer forces us to raise the front tire pressure, relatively speaking, which might end up with the same pressure all around ie.you need to strike a balance between the load and steering response.
If you then complicate matters further by bringing a third dimmension into this equation ie. pot holes and bent rims, you can throw the other two out of the window!

Excellent points.
I'm an XXL sort of guy and rarely have passengers.................that front end takes a pounding.

OK, that all makes sence. So if you track the car driving alone, higher pressure in front is still the rule. Then reduce the front pressure for the street to protect the rim.
Thanks

Not quite. You Increase the pressure to protect the rim.
The higher front pressure will make the ride deteriorate, but improve the handling.

Gotcha

I'm running 42 psi on my Iforged Daytona 19s. I dont want to bend a rim.

do you run 42 all around or just for the front tires? i also have iForged wheels and am afraid of bending my rims on Chicago streets. is the ride pretty harsh?

i bent a front rim on 38psi
