anyone running the HPs with a pressure less than 35 to soften the ride?
Right now running the stock HPs at 36 and the ride is to harsh for me on some of the roads around here. This is my first car the low profile tires and I know the suggested pressure is 35.
How much below 35 can you go in attempts to make the ride less harsh? Any opinions? |

Try it out. It won't hurt anything to run 30PSI or so. You might lose .x MPG.

perhaps try a tyre with a softer sidewall.
i know the hankook V12 evo has a soft sidewall. if you try economy tires you should have more luck finding a softer ride. the michelin is an economy tire, but it is a very good economy tire. perhaps it has a stiff sidewall to reduce flex and reduce rolling resistance. |
