Default Tire pressure question

When I got my xfire the front tires had 27psi and the rears 30 psi. The label inside the drivers door says 32 front/33 rear. I put 32 all around and the ride is very bumpy. Is the 32/33 a recommended or a max? What pressures do other owners ride on?

Which tires do you have? Pilots or Continential A/W?

32/33 is the recommended ride pressure for the Pilots. At 27psi, my low pressure warning would come on for sure. It came on when the weather here cooled down and cold pressure read 29psi on the fronts.

I would not run the Crossfire at 27psi, the Pilots are performance low profile tires. Running it at those low pressures could seriously increase wear on those tires and potentially cause damage to your rims as well. It could be a safety issue as well.

I actually had the tire pressure warning light go on this weekend. My left rear tire was all the way down to about 15 PSI. I'm a little worried there might be a leak or something, because all of the other tires were around 32 PSI. I thought it might have been because it was a cold day, but I don't think so because it was only one tire. I might have the dealer check for leaks.

Oh man, those rears are expensive, hopefully it is a fixable problem.

15 PSI is wayyy low. I'd definately have them check fleak--sounds like a small leak is probably occuring. Let us know...

How much are those tires? Is there any place to buy them at a bargain price? I rarely drive my car, I bought it as a special event car and not a driver...last time I drove it though, that tire light came on.

This sucks... my tire pressure light came on again. Didn't have time to go to the gas station and fill it, but I will first thing tomorrow. I'll take it to the dealer on Friday... maybe I'll get a new tire considering it only has 2200 miles on it. Maybe. Don't feel like already spending $320 on a new tire.
