    Thumbs up

    Hey all

    I was wondering for the best even wear and grip if running 10psi under max psi pressure will do ?

    Wear out the outer edges of your tyres quicker

    Might wear out the edges of the tyre less if you are running heaps of camber, but in every other case I can think of I agree with Nick.

    outer?? it will be the centre quicker, outers if your running lower pressures, might find the car tends to slide more at that high a pressures

    not good for drifting or cornering dude your tyre wall will flex or move more as you corner it wont damage anything but i recon it would feel wak and not good for grip good tyres and the widest tyre is your best bet

    i had a 4x4 with 33" tyres i ran low psi in them on the street so it wasnt so bouncy all the time but it wasnt a cornering speedster by any mean

    i say drive to a servo let the pressure down and see how it drives, i don't recon tyre wear would be a huge difference at a low pressure
