Tire Pressure for 225/40 R18

[TXSolaraSLE]

I just got some Mille Miglia Evo5 18" wheels with Yokohama AVS ES100 225/40/ R18 tires. I'm worried about bending my wheels because i already kinda dented one on crappy austin streets win the first week i've had them. Does anybody have suggestions on what tire pressure to run. Also, what's a reliable place to get my front end alignment done?

Thanks,
Brian

Generally rule of thumb:
Use the tire pressure recommendation printed on the door AND
For ever 1 inch of rim diameter increase, add 2-3 psi

So you are looking at 4-6psi increase from stock 16" pressure.

I love the Miglia EVO 5, too bad they only make 19x8.5.

Can u post the pics?

I used 38 psi for my 18".

It all depends on the manufactueres specs. The Toyo T1-s on 17" rims reccomend 36PSI, so anywhere in that range should be fine.

I use the exact same size tire and run at 40 PSI. No problems so far.

38 to 40 COLD psi. Make sure you measure and fill your tires after your car has sat overnight...or if you can't avoid it...less than 5 mins of driving in the morning.

Also make sure to change the air in your tires every 3,000 miles or 4 months whichever come first

what the heck does that accomplish?

Make sure they replace the valve stems while your getting your air changed. Otherwise, the fresh air will wear out prematurly. Toyota has a really good deal on this with a coupon! They will perform the air and valve stem change and replace the blinker fluid for $99. I just had mine done,and the car gained about 3-4 hp at the rear wheels. Always check the flyers that Toyota sends out, this $99 coupon is right there with the deriveter adjustment coupon.

I just had my muffler belt replaced with one of those coupons.

Does anybody know if I should get the headlights rotated when I do The air and valve stem change? I know my dealer recommend this every year or so. I'm starting to wonder if this dealer is ripping me off. I initially thought I got a good deal on my car when I paid only $6000. over sticker. My salesman was very honest and even he recommends this maintanence on my car. Please help I don't want my car to break while I still have 7 years left on the loan. BTW it's a 99 with minimal body damage and minor rust.

I think I could prolly replace the muffler belt myself, however, with the Toyota coupon it will only cost 59.95. Good deal as long as they are using genuine Toyota parts. Btw, be careful of the $99 air and valve change, the dealer is using smelly air and the tires don't appreciate this.

HMMM I sense a honda boy lirking on the forums. You don't need to change the air in the tires and it doesn't matter if the air is "smelly".
