Default What is a tire pressure for stock setup?

Can anyone throw a number? I did a search, but I couldnt find anyone telling their tire pressure using stock 02 wrx tires and rims.

thanks.

That's because the stock tire pressure is on a plate on the B pillar of the driver's doorframe .

The max pressure given by bridgestone for these RE92s is 44psi. You should either read the owners manual or look at that the aformentioned plate that tells you to find the stock pressure and go from there. But remember, no matter what pressure you run your tires, don't go over the tire manufacturer's maximum spec.

Lower pressure = smoother ride
Higher pressure = less sidewall flex

You can also put 2-3 pounds less in the rears to help combat understeer (assuming you have stock suspension).
