What pressure do you keep them at? The online manual states 33.

Does it differ between the Dunlops and the Eufois?

Regards, Mark

Look at your driver's side door jam- the listings there say for
two occupants about 32 psi and for four it is about 37 psi cold.

I usually keep run-flats at about 32psi cold for 205/45/17.
otherwise they become too harsh of a ride for a commuter.

its usually only me in the car, so. :smile:


btw, my dealer only had 25psi in mine when i took delivery
so it has a flat spot. going to do a few burn outs this
spring to minimize the very minor but audible thumping.
gonna try to burn through the tires this summer and get
some Falken's on there by fall.

Don't have the car yet.

I'm looking at those tire pressure monitoring valve stems and wanted to order them prior to delivery.
