[CEHollier]

I'm running Michelin Pilot SS tires 305/35R19 and 295/35R19. What tire pressures are you running? Thank you CH

Try 30-32psi. GT3350 uses 305 tires and the factory spec is .... wait for it... 32psi.

Appreciate the info. Just installed mine and for some reason they feel better with 35-36 psi. Maybe it's our shitty Louisiana roads.

I run my tires at 36 cold for street driving. Some tires ive had better wear at 30-32 but my MPSS and 4S's seem to do and wear best at 35-36psi.

I started out around there as well. With my driving style I found 30-31 cold gave me the best grip and contact patch

Gixxer and Modular What is your rim/tire set up? I'm running 19 inch rims X 10 wide 295 35R front and 11 wide 305 35R rear.

My current setup is different, but when i was running the Michelins i had 18x9.5 with 265's at that pressure and 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 with 285 and 305 running that. If you feel more comfortable at 35-36 then run it and keep a eye on tire wear. Nothing wrong with that pressure. Nothing wrong with 30psi, tires may wear different between the 2 but drive with what you feel comfortable with. At a track day i dropped down to 26-27.

Not to stray from the thread, but what kind off mileage and tire wear are you seeing with your MPSS and MPS4S?

19x10.5 with 295’s/35’s on the front, 19x11 with a 305/35 on the rear

Being my front tires size vs rim width are at the narrowest recommended by Michelin I'm considering increasing just the front tires to 36psi and leave the rears at 32. I think it will give a more stable feel.

This morning I had a ton of errands to do so I did a lot of driving. I kept the rear tires at 32 psi and increased the fronts to 36psi. It made a difference is the feel. More stable and less jiggly for lack of a better term.

In the colder temps I find running them @29-30 gets them warm faster. From 29 cold to 32-33 warm.

Makes a huge difference in grip in 40-50f weather.

Summer 32-33 cold. 35-36 warm. They are more stable at 35-36 IMO.
