Tires: SRT4 tires, stock rims, neon srt4


Question
I have a dodge neon SRT4.  I have toyo proxie 235/45/17.  The sticker said to run the original tires at 32psi.  Do I run these tires at a higher psi or the same due to the fact they are alot wider?  Please help

Answer
Jason,

2 things:  I'm hoping your changed from the 6" wide stock rims.  A P235/45R17 requires a minimum of a 7 1/2" wide rim.  Running a rim that is too narrow is going to cause the tread to arch and run in the center of the tread.  This may cause some directional stability problems and cause rapid wear in the center.

The second is that the original tires were 89 Load Index, and the 235/45R17's are probably 87 Load Index.  That means you need to run 2 psi higher.
