Tires

[krafael5]

Hi everyone. I received for my front tires federal formoza tires for my Rts. I also just received my rear tire a federal formoza az01 205/55r15. The front tires ride wonderful at 22 psi. Tommorow the rear tire is getting installed. Bought all three tires from tires-easy. They had the rear federal formozas. Any helpful ideas for psi would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Lots of "spirited" opinions on this.

Start at the recommended psi and move up/down in 2psi increments. Ride.

I have my rear Yokohama set at 30psi, but I wouldn't go any higher.

 

[krafael5]

Ok. Thanks. I also had Yokohamas on the rear and original in the front. Loved the Yoko now I will try federal formoza az01.

I am running Continental Contiprocontact's on the front tires, and I run them @ 19PSI. No problems.

Puhleeeze....

You know as well as I do that isn't going to be found. (I thought you were the expert witness.) Please give me a link for your Generals on their site for Spyder psi.

#1. I'm not the one giving out false information !!! .........and #2..I never said General Tire gave ANY psi recommendations for Anything..... Perhaps you should get your facts straight ... :lecturef_smilie: ....... Oh wait ...Facts are not something that show up in your posts .... only Vitriol :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: ........... Mike :thumbup:

I've never claimed that Yokohama recommends a tire pressure for Spyders. I also gave multiple links to tire manufacturer safety protocols. You just put in multiple emojis that look like hysterical toddlers trying to get their way.

Vitriol: bitter criticism. Um, that sounds more like your posts. I am more sarcastic of your big claims and emoji abuse.

I'm telling you, I nearly died laughing when you made a big deal out of winning a "sanctioned drag race." I imagined you in a big blue knight costume, kind of like a team mascot would wear, blazing down a straight away and flames coming out of the exhaust.

It's hard for me to even type this as I think about it. Just too funny. (no emoji needed.)

#1., your post said " use the recommended tire pressure ..... #2 and you were talking about " Yokohama tires ..... Only a complete idiot couldn't see the link ............. and concerning your accusation on " bitter criticism " ...... I know you " demand " proof ....so please re-print them or at the least provide my Post numbers so I and EVERYONE else here can see them ......... PS, I will understand if you won't do this, showing what isn't there is really difficult to do .....even Houdini had His limitations ....... Mike :thumbup:

I have to admit that I read the above as “start at the recommended psi” for a Yokohama on a Spyder and then “move up and down in 2psi increments”, Todd. Exactly what “recommended” psi were you referring to? Written English is so easy to misinterpret

The problem with written language is that you can interpret it how you want as you're reading it. There are things called paragraphs where a new idea is presented.

I initially said, "start at the recommended psi." As far as anyone knows there is only one source of "recommended psi:" BRP with krappy Kendas. That was what I was referring. I said nothing about Yoko recommendations in that statement. I said go up or down 2psi from THAT. I then hit the 'Enter' key twice to start a new idea, like a paragraph. That's where I said that I personally had Yoko's and have the rear at 30.

However, I could've been a bit more clear because I realize that the two of you very much disagree that I think there is a range of safe tire pressure levels. Ready to pounce. Your only right answer is low psi's. I think low pressure like 14 psi make my Spyder ride like it has wet socks. Never did I say that there was a recommended Spyder tire pressure from Yoko, but that's how you wanted to read into it.

Peter, I even used YOUR method of heat signatures to test the psi that I liked: 26F and 30R. I asked you about it on another thread, and you had no answer. You were reading the thread because you were 'liking' drag-race-winner's posts after mine.

IF I were to IMPLY that Yoko had a recommended psi, anyone that writes in English would've written it like this:

Start at the Yokohama recommended psi and move up/down in 2psi increments. Ride.



But, that's not what I wrote.

It's unbelievable how one of you is so bent out of shape when it comes to tire pressures. But at the same time, is making a new suspension linkage in his basement to sell. My goodness, the irony is enormous.

:shocked: You guys are just like a couple of cats who have had their tails tied together, and then been slung over a clothesline... :yikes:
Give it a rest nojoke

about the tires: Since it's a car tire with much stouter construction; you should be able to run lower pressures. I ran my Kumho at 24 psi, but probably could have gone lower. They gave a pretty comfortable rude, and the little bit of wear on them looked to be nice and even. :thumbup:

 

[tehrlich]

Peter, I may have mistaken you with another Peter! If I did, I apologize!


But, I still didn't imply that Yoko had a recommended Spyder tire pressure!

Enter at Your Own Risk

I think there should be a separate 'tire pressure' forum, and it should be labeled: Enter at Your Own Risk

 

[Bob Denman]

There should also be required use of a cup, and safety headgear...:yikes:

 

[blacklightning]

When i think of going with the recommended tire pressure, I think of what is recommended in the manual. That is approx. what I use whether it is for a kenda (motorcycle tire), or Kumo, or Federal.
Long story short, I use 28 for rear and 18-20 for front. Since the rear is harder to check and add air too, unless I see a lot of negative wear on the sides or middle, I leave it alone. Front is adjusted to the expected riding conditions.

Second request about Vitriol

I've never claimed that Yokohama recommends a tire pressure for Spyders. I also gave multiple links to tire manufacturer safety protocols. You just put in multiple emojis that look like hysterical toddlers trying to get their way.

Vitriol: bitter criticism. Um, that sounds more like your posts. I am more sarcastic of your big claims and emoji abuse.

Yesterday I asked you to provide some proof that MY posts ( concerning you ) were of a Vitriolic nature because You stated they were ( see above Quote ) ...... You haven't provided any yet ..... Are you still searching ???, or are you just going to Ignore this question ???? ...... Inquisitive minds would like to know .......... Mike :thumbup:

Nothing like a good tire fight.
Lets all meet with our tires and whack each other over the head.
Last man standing wins the tire argument........who's in?

Opinions are kind of like a--h---s, everyone has one. Some are stronger than others. Stronger opinions does not make them right. Weaker opinions does not prove someone any less correct. I was wondering what the reason a person with a very strong opinion would always try to force it on another.
Sometimes the person with the strongest opinion is the one who is really doubtful about his/her strong opinion and stretches the truth a little to make it appear he/she is right. Some people can't stand to appear wrong (take my ---- for instance).

Everyone wants to be right. Problem is, when we are talking about Air (a variable thing) no one is right and no one is wrong. Get it?

I would recommend you use what ever damn air pressure you want to and stop being such a "weeny" and depending on all your decisions in life to come from someone else. Branch out, walk on the wild side and form your own opinions without trying to ask someone else how to live your life! (including the air in your tires).
