What PSI for stretched tires?

[kaidotech]

I'm looking at putting either 215/60/15s on my 15x9.5's, or 225/60/15s.

Both tires are Falkens, except the 215 is max 51psi, and the 225 is max 44psi.

I would prefer the higher PSI, because my current 255/60/15s have that muscle-car heavy buldge at the bottom even at full PSI, and I **** it. I assume the stretched sidewall will combat some of that,

Which should I go with PSI wise, or does it not matter? ( I know 60 is a tall sidewall height)

I run max psi rear and 3psi less in the front.

I ran 40 PSI all around, never had an issue.

[kaidotech]

Good. Thanks for the replies. I wanted to go with the bigger stretch but was concerned with the 44psi. Ordereeeeeeed.

[Oxer]

36-40 psi.

same

The 60 series sidewall doesnt make a difference to the suggested PSI's?

[Oxer]

not really.

The biggest issue with stretched tires is letting the psi drop and not maintaining the pressure, that and hitting gutters/buckling wheels.

Okie dokie. I check my tire pressure weekly and have never curbed my current wheel/tire setup so I should be good :3

[Oxer]

Dont need weekly unless you have a slow leak.

[kaidotech]

I do a shit load of long freeway driving so I just check it anyways

I had 8 psi in one of my rear wheels the other day, I nearly shit my pants.

[kaidotech]

Damn. What kind of stretch do you have?

[Kielan]

Damn. What kind of stretch do you have?

I doubt that has much to do with the stretch, and more to do with a flaw in the tire.

[kaidotech]

Im just wondering how crazy stretched it was that you wouldnt notice it only had 8psi.
