quick question...

1) i have nitto 420S 265 35 22.. what should the air pressure be? they are currently at 40psi, cold.

2) how much do we torque down the lugs? i have it torqued at 100 lb ft .. but gotta get it retorqued after some driving, so correct me if im wrong.

3) what is the rotation/balance schedule? my tires are the same size all the way around, and are non-directional

4) what do you guys use to keep the chrome looking clean? i bought some Meguire's chrome shine.. at first, it looks like it does the job.. take another look the next day, and it attracts a LOT of dust, leaves a residue, leaves streaks, and totally changed the color of my rotors (when i sprayed the rims, some solution when on the rotors)


thanks for all the help!

i keep mine at 45 psi, rotate tires every oil change, its included in the price, and use nano tech chrome polish, easy on and off, and has anti-corriosion built in.

1. 40 lbs of pressure is okay but you can go too 35..

2. That is correct

3. Every 6000 miles

4. use wax...

JMO...

Good luck man,

This is on mine.
1. 35 psi
2. No sure of the correct #. Just tight enough and an extra tug
3. Every other oil change
4. I keep a microfiber in the car and wipe them often. The longer you leave dirt/stains/brake dust on them the harder it'll be to remove. So wiping them often helps them stay showroom clean.

BTW any pics of them on your car?

here is a pic of the problem i encountered when using Meguire's chrome cleaner.. it landed on my rotors and it looks like this:

also, really made breaking feel scary for a few miles... untill it wore off i guess
