Tire Air Pressure

[titanium02]

Got the 24's in the summer.. now with the temperature droppin I'm starting to see a very small buldge in the bottem. I got 36 lbs right now.

What should I put in it? 38?

i wonder the same thing also i usually put about 35 lbs but notice that when i ride for a long time they go all the way to 40-41 max i think my max air tire pressure that could withstand is 50 MAX so i know im good but wonder if im wearing the tires faster, also idk if this sounds weird or anything by looking at my tire thread it seems that the car being dropped now wears the tires faster idk maybe im just crazy anyone has more info on this ?

Assuming that all geometry is correct, such as camber;

You could draw a white chalk line across your tread, drive a small distance (not very far, like 50 feet) and see how it wears out. If it wears out quicker in the middle, then you are over-inflated. Wearing out quicker on the outer edges would mean under-inflation.

If you had the proper equipment, such as a weighing station near you, you could figure out each axle's weight load. For example, 2,700Ibs on the front axle, and 2,300Ibs over the rear axle. Using those numbers, you can contact the tire's manufacturer (some even list the weight values online) and ask them what the recommended PSI is for your specific tire size and weight load, and probably even temperature recommendations.
