Pressure on 22" low profile tires

[yitbos_magnum]

I got a used magnum recently that came with 22" rims. The tires say max PSI is 55, which seems a little high. I was wondering if it is recommended to run them at that pressure, or whether they should be lower than 55. I would like to run them at whatever pressure will maximize the life of the tires, as I found out that 22" tires are unbelievably expensive. Thanks.

i run mine around 35-40 but i think your suppose to go by the tire pressure on your door sill.

I ran 40 psi in the winter and 35 psi in the summer. 55 is way to high.

Door sill pressures are for the OEM (stock) tires.
I run my 265/35/22s @ 32 psi cold. I've had excellent tire wear and a good ride. I have found that when they're inflated to 40+psi, the ride is too rough. A lot easier to bend a wheel when hitting pot holes with those pressures. IMHO 32 - 35 psi is the sweet spot for street use.

Or not, I could be wrong.....oops!

its more easier to bend your wheel when the pressure is lower ;)
I run 44psi in my 25 series all day.. I'd rather wear the tires out then buy new hoops for my wheels..

40-41 psi in mine.

Mine handles better and feels more responsive to steering inputs at 42 to 45 psi. Can tell a loss in handling and the potential for a bent rim at about 37 psi.....I am also dropped on KWV1 with Hotchkis sways btw....

Thanks guys - i will try 42 and see how that goes.

I like 40+ -- mine are 39 cold right now, and they warm up to about 43 on the highway.

And as been said, the higher the pressure the more protection for the rims.:rock:
