Default Silly Question - Tire Pressure.

Hi Guys

I have an AP1 with AP2 wheels on it and Potenza tyres:
Front - 215/45R17
Back - 245/40R17

What is the correct tyre pressure for front and back? I know to do it cold, but not to sure what to put in?

Thanks

It should say somewhere on the tirewall.....I know the stock RE050 tires are supposed to be at 32psi.

Pressure on the tire sidewall is max pressure the tire is rated for. AP2s run 32psi all around.

It will be on the door jam, not the tirewall.

Where'd you get the spelling tyre for tire? Is it the english or french spelling?

Either way, I agree with Angelus1243. 32psi. Anywhere between 30-33 should be fine for normal driving.

The rest of the world outside of North America spells it "tyre". There are other countries outside of the USA you know

Thanks.... the reason I didnt check the door jam is because I have the AP1, which had 16's standard.... I have the 17's...
