Tires squatting at max psi??
Monday, June 27, 2011 4:49 PM
Has anyone else had this problem? My 99 z24 on stock z24 rims with Cooper 205/55r16 tires are squatting at max psi. I keep a few things in the trunk but nothing that weighs the car down much, I don't think its a weight issue. So far no ride quality has been changed due to the tires but I think it is hurting my fuel mileage. I can't figure why they would be giving that much of an issue.

if by squatting you mean the rear is dropping, your suspension is done.

No, I mean the tires squat on the rims.. They act like they are low on pressure, but they are at max psi for the rim/tire. The suspension is not an issue

I'll get pics later... The Coopers say max is 35 psi and i keep them right around there. i guess i'm not exactly sure what the max on the rim is (stock z24)

Well, 35 isn't max, it's just suggested. I've run 50 at the track, haha.

But definitely get the pics, so we can see how much it's actually squatting.
