Recommended Tire Pressure? - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

lethal6i · 05-02-2005, 03:47 AM

My 6i currently has stock tires (I think they're stock) - Michellin Tires that have a 44PSI max - with the stock 16" wheels. What is the recommended tire pressure? Currently it reads 32PSI in the front and the around 27PSI in the back. Any help is appreciated.

If it's stock, follow the recommended pressure on the door.

However, you mentioned 27psi recommended pressure for the rear? I don't recall it being that low. I personally keep mine at 32 for front/rear (I have 16" stock too).

Jax6S, I think what he meant to say is that he checked the current pressure in his tires and the front ones read 32psi while the back ones read 27psi.....

lethal6i, as mentioned by "Jax6S" the recommended tire pressure all around is 32psi...

Alright. Thanks everyone. I guess I'll pump up the rears a bit. My dad kept insisting that it was faaaaaaaar too low in the front and that I need to pump it near 40. This one I will rub in his face.

For better road response, better handling, and better high speed stability ( >100mph) then I would pump them to 35+ psi.
