Tire Pressure

What should the psi on f1's for daily driving be? Mine seem to be about 25? Thanks

32 psi works for me--18,000 miles and counting.

The specs are 32 all around, but I run 32 front 34 rear. I like to slide the rear end around corners, and a little extra air makes it easier.

Good ?

I guess it depends on what you're looking for. delivered they were 26# across the board... the rear seemed to stick pretty good at that PSI too. I upped to 32 rear, but found that a little too loose, especially when cold, so I've dropped to 30.5 to see if that helps. I've kept the fronts at 34 for now.

I realize with the weight distribution (what is it, BTW?) it will be tough to keep her from pushing, and I surely don't need as much pressure in back as I do up front to keep the sidewalls from flexing in turns...

i run 34 all round. f1s max at 40psi and remember that outside temp effects tire presure. outside temp +10deg about equals 1psi in tires. the more pumped up the longer your tires last and the lower (to a point) the better traction you have due to more contact area but the faster wear.

I think the weight distribution is 57/43

32 rear, 33 front. More weight over the front tires for daily driving. They should have a little more pressure.

I run almost the same as Jay on the street: 32 front, 30 rear (2 psi less in the rear). Depending on air temp, I may adjust it but stick with 2 psi less in the rear. It keeps the truck neutral to very slight understeer with the suspension setup I have.

Rhodesian Ridgebacks..............

Way to go Spike/Blazer! Our Rhodesian Ridgeback Suede, won his Championship and a CD--but no 'Best in Show'. Outstanding!

Thanks! What's amazing is that we brought him out of retirement for this show. He got his championship 5 years ago as a puppy and we "specialed" him the following year although he was still technically a puppy. He finished 4th in the country that year and we retired him. Now, we are showing his "granddaughter," so we decided to enter Blazer also at the Hound Classic in Palm Springs even though he's 6 years old. He took breed and went on to win the show!
