stealitall Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 i bin noticing lot of legacy owners saying to bump up the pressure because of the side walls. but could that be because 225 are stander load and the car calls for extra load like the 215's are ? http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/us/en/continental/automobile/themes/car_tires/performance/extreme_dws_en/hidden/printable_datasheet_en.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Whatever feels best to you as long as you don't go over the max pressure. How do you like these tires ? I'm planning on getting for next year. Tirerack has them for $121 each. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

I'm planning on getting for next year. Tirerack has them for $121 each. Will running higher pressure accelerate wear in the middle of the tire? Like the tires, but turn-in not super crisp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastorino Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 i went with 225/40/18 stock for em is 215/45/18 i've never run conti's but i wanted a very good all year tire that had a warranty. These had great reviews on tirerack and several other site so i went for it. teh traction is very nice on dry pavement and wet traction is incredible, i tried to hit puddles and still had control. can't wait for teh first snow fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
