Tire Psi

[coolsi]

hi,

what is the recommended tire psi for the '96 ES300?

thanks!

My '02 calls for 29 psi all round (215/60-16s). It is probably the same.

I prefer the ride at 32 psi, personally.

29 wow that seems low but i am no lexus engineer they know what they are doing when they make them

i use 35-40 depending on the max of the tires

if doing long distances on a highway i up them to max psi

saves a hell of a lot of gas

almost got from Toronto to nyc queens on 1.25 tanks of gas in a 1990 lumina apv

the tires don't heat up much from stopping and going like in traffic

so it won't be an issue of safety

I run mine between 27-29 for optimum ride.

i run mine around 30-32 for about even wear. 29 seems that it would allow sidewall of the tire that's close to the ground to bulge outward a bit. i don't like to see that, so i pump it up everytime i see my sidewall beginning to bulge outwards any, for tread wear purposes and better mileage.

32psi is the best because its not too hard of a ride or not too soft. If your tires are too low on air they will wear allot from the sides and if they are too high they will wear from the middle and give your a hard ride. :)

I've run tires on several different types of cars between 27-29 and haven't had any improper treadwear.

Me no likey bumps ;) Bumps BAAAAAAAD!

Lexus reccomended 32 psi all around for the '92-'96 ES300.
