What about those of us running 225 on the front staggered 17's
I have a CR and I run 32 all way around. When I had my '04 NFR, I ran 32 front and 30 rear but that was my preference. Thirty-two should work fine.
What if my gauge is metric???

Call Starchland for advice, you and him are the only ones who use that system

For a nominal fee, you can borrow mine, or you can use THIS.

I've got an air pressure conversion chart somewhere here. I'd be willing to photocopy it and send it to anyone for 20 USD. Hasn't steered me wrong yet

My daily driver SUV has tire pressure readings displayed in Kpa and you can convert readings to imperial as well. I was trying to calculate the relationship by toggling back and forth but using Ken's handy converter I see it is 1 psi = 6.9 kpa (or approximately 7). Very helpful to know , and I don't need to pay Starchland $20 now.

Early in my childhood Canada converted to metric so I grew up learning both systems. I like a mix of the systems though. I prefer my temperatures in F, my measurements in mm, cm, metres, and kms, quantities in litres, weight in lbs, and pressure in psi

Every day and a couple of times every weekend That was the same time the US made a half-hearted attempt to join the rest of the civilized world in using a system of measurement that actually made sense.
