Reading over a few threads here. Curious to know what people are running their pressures at.

I'm on an 18" setup with Dunlop Winter Sport.

I have 235/35/19 Blizzaks I'm running at 36psi. I'll have to check them again when the temperature drops for for good, but I think I'll bump it up to about 40psi since they're such a low profile. Otherwise I'd stay closer to 35

38f / 36r - Michelin Xice2 - 225/45/18. Will boost them to 40 all around for a fully loaded road trip at Christmas.

40 psi under normal conditions. If its really icy out in the ski resort areas, i lower it to 35psi.

I have Winter Sport 3D's in 245/40/18. They have similar load specs to the PZero Rosso's my car came with so I use the same pressure I do on the summer tires. Usually 40 when the roads are pretty clean but if there's a fresh snowfall or I'm going up to a ski resort where there's always a layer of ice/snow on the ground I'll drop it to 36. Also, the wear patterns are exactly the same between my summers and winters.

Thanks for the info. 38-40psi seems to be the consensus for the city highway driving.

For those guys with directional tires - which direction should the arrows face? I am assuming the arrow should point toward the front end of the car if you are looking directly at the tire or no?

The arrow indicates the direction in which the tire should turn, oh and 40 psi.....
