I now run at 32, gives me a firm not harsh ride. Finally, I just did the same thing that Gary Fish just advised, and just adjusted until I found a psi I liked. I posted in 's tire forum and got various advice. When I took it to the dealer for a scheduled service, they said it was okay to keep it high, but then they went and rotated my tires as part of the service and they dropped the pressure to 30.

I called tire shop who did the original install and they recommended to keep it high for performance. SJK: I don't have the BFG's, but I went through exactly the same thing as you when I bought my NB with new tires several months ago. You just need to be able to feel the performance differences. Don't let someone else tell you that you're wrong. If you can't tell the difference, then it doesn't matter. To aid consistency, always measure the pressure when the tires are cold.) Raise the pressure 1 or 2 psi at a time and re-evaluate the performance. (It doesn't necessarily have to be an accurate gauge, but it must be consistent. Use the 26psi starting point, and use a gauge that gives you a consistent reading. Only you can determine the best tire pressure for you. This is typically the maximum rated pressure for the tire - it has no relationship to the "best" pressure. Too much or too little pressure will give uneven treadwear.ĭo not use the pressure indicated on your tire's sidewall. A bit more pressure may be desired for higher performance situations where less sidewall flex might be needed. However, it is not necessarily the "best" pressure, depending on what you are trying to do. This is your starting point and is generally considered a good balance between ride comfort, handling, and road noise.
#BFGOODRICH G FORCE COMP 2 TIRE PRESSURE MANUAL#
The owner's manual calls for 26psi of tire pressure. I suspect he may have misunderstood the question. If the sales rep told you that your Miata tires should be inflated to 38-42, he was wrong. That said - tire pressure "recommendations" are specific to a vehicle, and are not absolute based on the tire. If those are reasonably new, the tires have probably not been used before.Ī 2:20h service time might be a bit long, but not excessive considering the time of the year and potential high workload.This thread might have triggered more replies had it been posted in the Tires section.
The first two digits refer to the calender week, the last two digits to the year of manufacture. On the tires, you should also find a four digit number, encased in an oval - that's the DOT code. The definition of "new" tires depends a bit on your location - in some countries, tires still count as "new" even when (properly) stored for a few years.Īs a general indicator, you can compare the looks of your tires with online pictures. It still is safe to drive like this, but there'll be a bit more wear on the rear tires, and the front may feel less stable.Īfter having driven a few miles, you should make sure the wheel bolts are still tight. They likely couldn't be bothered to look up the correct values for your car and chose to use reasonable "default" ones. Please correct the tire pressure as soon as you can. Should I correct the tire pressure immediately or leave them as they are? What should I look out for after a new tire installation? Also, how do I determine if tires ordered from are genuinely new? The invoice they handed me lists the following service descriptions: Got home and verified with two different tire pressure gauges. As I drove off, TPMS measured 38 for FL, 38 FR, 36 RL and 37 RR. Front set are supposed to be 30 psi and rear should be 40 according to the door sticker and manual. Service time was 2 hours and 20 minutes (is that normal?). I bought set of BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 all-seasons listed as new, and just had them installed at my local Walmart Auto Care Center.
