Question Proper pressure for 315 Nitto 555R's on the street?
I need to know what most are running pressure wise on their 315 Nitto D/R's?

I live in fl, so its hot most of the time....all the time actually and the temperature doesn't vary from day to day much...

Thanks

This was just asked recently. https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/649023-555r-psi-question.html

I've been running 25 psi in mine, but I'm thinking about dropping it to 20 and then just putting it back up to 25 when I go on long trips.

I am getting ready to change mine out and I consistantly ran 18-20psi since they were new and they still wore in the middle.

18-22 psi and they are still going to skate across the road with your new combo. buy some bfg's if you want traction

20psi, and I still spin them like I'm on ice if I romp it in 1st or 2nd. That's with 245s, which are about as useful as scooter tires
