Siders77 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I've had a quick search but can't find anything of much use. I'm wondering what sort of pressures I should be running, the roads round here are quite bumpy with a fair few pot holes so I don't really want to go too low! My tyres are Falken FK452 245/35/20 on the front and 275/30/20 on the rear. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Where that "faceplant" smilie? There are at least 2 place within your car that tell you the recommended tyre pressures to run. Same as with every car. I ran 34 when I had 19" wheels fitted. Some run more, some less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I probably should have mentioned that I've had a look, sorry. Its all in Japanese so not much help. They're aftermarket alloys anyway so the plates on the car wouldn't be much use would they? Or am I being stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 No such thing as stupid - can't think of anyone that runs 20s - maybe Stew actually Go for 35 all round if in doubt and see how the ride feels - although with 20s on its going to be rough regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thank you for the reply. I had another proper look at the plate inside the door and it's definatley for the standard alloys. I'll try 35 all round and see how it feels. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I run 20's and I usually use around 34-36. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I used to run 20s at standard pressures .. the wheels are with another member (eck1) now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I run about 28-30 with my 19" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown7758 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 the Forum is here to help with questions like yours buddy.. no faceplant smilie needed as you did say in the OP that it was for 20" and the original car instructions clearly would not tell you that.. the pressure will be diff for alot of people, id try a few that other people use and pick the best for your own..

Ebized Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 As the Falkens have fairly soft side walls you might find raising the pressure above the 'standard' 35psi works better. I used to use about 37/38 in the 19" Falkens I had on the 350. Whether that suits 20" tyres I don't know as I guess the profile is lower so less sidewall. As being indicated above by others, experiment by gradually raising the pressures from 35 and trying on your favourite bit of road with a few demanding corners, which should reveal what suits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Cheers for the help everyone! I'll try 35 tomorrow and see how I get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
