Question Hankook users, what PSI 32?

For those of you using Hankook Ventus St's, what PSI are you running? 32 like the F1's?

Thanks!

Jim

I run 34lbs. in the front and 32lbs. in the rear. Also rotate them every 5,000 miles seems to work out just right. They wear very even. Artie

I run 40 in mine. I rotated them after about 18,000 miles and didn't notice any wear. These tires are ggggrrrreeeeaaaatttttt. They don't hook as well as the F1s but that to be expected.

If you're running the stock size tires then run 32 psi cold as the door tag indicates.

Thanks!

I run thirty-two psi (checked with tires cold) both front and rear and have no problems with them. I've been thinking about what tires to get next but they don't wear out, and I do a lot of showing off for the guys at work................

Thanks everyone, I went with 34 in front and 32 in back for now, I'll see how it goes. Got them on and put the L back in the garage. It will be a while before it comes back out again, weather here is still...crappy.

Wow... I run mine at 45. Tire shop that mounted the tires said run them at 51PSI cause that's what the sidewall of the tire recommends. I settled at 45 myself.

295/45/18. I rotate every 5k also.. great tires.

For starters, make sure your using a decent air pressure gauge for your readings. The next morning after I got my Lightning back from the local tire shop that did a free tire rotation, I remembered I saw the guy adding air after checking the tires with one of those pencil type air gauges and decided to see what he put in. As the recommended air pressure is 32 psi, I was curious to see how close my tires were. With my Accu-Gage tire gauge, I got from 29 psi to 35 psi, and all four tires had different pressure. I'm sure they looked pretty close with a pencil gauge, but if you want more accuracy check the link for the Accu-Gage below. They come in different maximum pressure (I recommend the 60 psi model for our trucks) and they also come in straight and two different angled chucks. I also have their 30 psi model for my low pressure dirt bike tires and their 60 psi right angled chuck for my street bike that's valve stem is almost impossible to get to the due to the big dual disk brake rotors. They really are worth the money to me to know my pressure is accurate. If you do get one, don't forget to add the rubber gauge guard for an additional $3.
