Got me new 18" rims and the tyre pressures were a bit off when I checked them - front right -37, front left -33, rear left 36, rear right -37

I've dropped them to 35psi all round so at least they're all the same now.

On my old 17's I used to run 33 front and either 30 or 32 rear.

Should I go for the same pressures with the 18s or is it worth keeping them at 35 all round?

Obviously I'll try them at different pressures anyway, but just wondered what anyone out there with 18s thought... gleaning from others experience and all that.

I have heard that the tyre pressures should be the same as the factory ones, regardless of size. All to do with the weight load etc. Confuses me but thats what I do.

I use 32F & R or 34F-32R which seam to work well. This is on my01 225/40ZR18.
