HELP--Anyone running aftermarket tires??

I am running Perelli P-Zero's on 19 & 20" HRE 541's. The tire pressure calls for 55lbs!! Any others out there have afterstock tires/wheel combo that calls for a much higher tire pressure?

Re: HELP--Anyone running aftermarket tires??

Yup. LOVE my PZero's.

Awesome tire. You get more tread than almost any other tire out there, normally 11/32. Awesome DRY grip. Better than Avg in the wet.

Getting ready to buy a new set & going to 335/30-18's.

Who's calling for that tire pressure? You talking about the max pressure on the side wall

While the max pressure on the sidewall may say 45-55 psi, you don't want to run that for everyday driving. That info is for the guys mounting the tires... they set the air pressure to "set" the bead.

You should start at 30psi like the doorjam sticker says and work around it from there. On a flat surface put some water down and drive through. Measure your tires footprint and adjust to your liking.
