    Correct Tyre pressure

    Hey guys,

    I've put in an order for non run flat Michelin pilot super sports the other day. They'll be going on the 19s when i get them refurbed. Just wondering what pressure will i run them at? Will i go by the placard on the door, or as my car was specd with run flats, will i lower/raise the pressure? They're an expensive tyre and i dont want them to wear out early by running the wrong pressure.

    Maybe someone with a lot more knowledge on this than me could kindly weigh in

    cos of colder weather , i mean less +30 , as they dont heat up much when driving is recomended to keep pressure higher . im not in psi numbers , but would keep about 2.4 - 2.6 bar on low profile tires

    have very good experience on this on few different cars . if with less pressure about 2.2 -2.3 bar , rear tires would wear bit from inside ,with perfect suspension components and tracking ,so after with higher pressure they wear ideally - perfect 100%
