Luke: PSI question
I recently bought eight new tires from TTR and the Eagle F1s, mounted on 18" staggard AMG wheels, came w/ 32 psi all around. I also had the Michelin X-Ice tires mounted on my old 16" wheels, and inflated to 32 psi all around. My S500 recommends 29 psi in front and 32 psi in back, and I see many different suggestions on this forum. What do you recommend for my F1s and X-Ices?

depends on the weather
I would run the pressure about 4 psi higher in the front on the Eagles for better performance and handling and leave the X-Ice tires at 32 all around for winter use for moderate understeer and predictablity in the winter

Luke is correct, I have run the Goodyear's for 12 months and the fronts need 36 when cold and the rear's 34 to 35 cold. I really like the Goodyear's over the Michellin's much quiter and the tread looks better.
