The dealer's advice was to run our WRX wagon (on RE050s) at 33psi front and 29psi rear. Is this correct? Seems a bit low to me. What pressures are other people running at and what's the effect on handling?

Thanks in advance.

33 front, 32 at the back for a an 05 WRX Saloon on RE050s if that helps.

I went to the petrol station to fill mine up and with mine being a euro import I noticed the pressures were in foreign money, so I had to go home for the manual and ingrain those numbers in my head.

I'd let mine get way down without noticing it and when I got them back to normal it tightenned things up a fair bit. Mud flaps aren't sraping the ground half as much now.

I find that at the recommended pressures - I tend to wear the writing off the sidewalls so I run mine at (an accurate) 35psi in the front and 33psi rear.
- If you're not a madman I would suggest as per st3ph3n .....

I think I should have ran mine higher at a track day.

I sort of melted one of the shoulders.

Whoops.

Thanks everyone.

The manual for my (UK) car says look at the driver's door frame for tyre pressures, but when you look there all you read is what the Service Manager described as "gobbledegook", hence his instruction and my post.

I can just hear the tyre warranty claim, writing just fell off the side wall, honest gov, I only drive in a straight line
