Default Tire pressures

Hi all

With weather changing don't forget to adjust tire pressures. I have seen a lot of S2000's around, I am
always in my RDX though when I see you, funny how that works!

What tire pressure should you be running now that it's winter?

Just a reminder, cold weather effects tire pressure as I am sure you know. Cold weather and summer tires also don't pair well together,
my experience from Pa anyway.

Same as in summer. 32-35 is typical depending on the tire MFG.

You loose 1 LB pressure per 10 degree drop in temps. So if it was 90 now it's at 40 you just lost at least 5 pounds of pressure!

Also don't forget OEM rubber and other high performance rubber essentially turn into HOCKEY PUCKS when temps drop below 45! So it may be dry and look great but the tires might not hold on a turn.
