I've had Yokohama AVS ES100's for a while now in 215/45/17 and I just cant seem to find a good pressure for them. I try to keep it at the normal 33 lbs. I've tried them slightly above that, they don't feel grippy and they feel less stable. When they've been underinflated, they actually feel a better than the standard or higher pressure.

Just wondering if anyone else is running tires in the same size and what pressures you are running. Any help would be appreciated!!

 

I have the same set. I run mine at 35psi and did at an autocross a few weeks back. They provided more than enough grip.

 

I have burned through 3 1/2 sets of these tires and I keep mine at 35psi cold. Works great for me both for my daily driving and for high performance activities.

 

Hmmm, I guess I'll try 35 then!

 

They do feel a little more grippy in a straight line when underinflated, but cornering becomes sluggish.

 

That's exactly what I noticed! Thanks!

 

35psi front 30psi back.

 

In this thread, Alex from TireRack says 34 front, 38 rear... seems to be conflicting opinions as to whether front should have more or less PSI than rear??

33 all the way around and feels pretty good on 225x45x17's; however, I'll try the 35 starting tomorrow and let you guys know.

 

The mini was not designed to have staggered pressures orginially. You set it accoring to your preferences in handleing.

I have 34 all around. That works for me!

 

38 at all four corners. 40 if I'm feeling frisky.
