I think it involves putting IMG tags around it.

I use imageshack. Seems much easier for me because it gives you all the different kinds links for each of your pictures.

Quick question for those of you with 19 inch rims, whats the best PSI to have your tires set to? I have 245's in the front and 275's in the back. Thanks.

Max load is 51 PSI, I think I keep mine around 42 PSI front and back. I don't check them very often though. When I do, because they look strange, they are usually running low at around 30 or so.

Wow 42? When I got them installed they set them to about 32 and I upped it to 34. I didn't know you could go as high as 42!

check the side of your tire...you should see a stamp "Max Load Psi"....can someone check the stock tire "Max Load Psi"? If no one does, I can check when I get home. When I had the stock tires on, the TPMS would go off if the PSi fell too low. I don't remember exactly what pressure they went off at, but I think it was in the mid 20's.

just walked out to my car...

Stock Bridgstone Potenzas max psi = 51 psi
I wouldnt get them any higher then 44-45 since those things are going to expand during really agressive driving.

RX-8 manual recommends keeping them at 32 psi

The TPMS doesn't go off at a certain PSI, it goes off when the tires are not all at an equal pressure. So if one tire is lower (or higher) pressure than the rest, it will see the irregularity and turn on the light.

When I had the stock tires I kept them around 35psi, and the light would come on around 25psi.

25 sounds about right. I only had one occurance when the TPMS went off and the tires were actually below 25. I think I generally kept about 34-35 in the stockers. I dropped em down to 32 for the autocross. The other times my TPMS went off was when it was really cold in the mornings. Once the tires heated up, the beeping went away.

When you get your tires mounted/balanced, shops generally put the tires at 35. I think that is like an industry standard. I guess they leave it up to the buyer to adjust from there. I've tried more, but you definately noticed the "rock hard" ride. With the 19 inch tires, the sidewalls are pretty stiff regardless of Psi, so I think you'd be safe running whatever your comfortable with.

Maybe check the manufactorers web site for recommended Psi? I may do this tonight when I get a chance. I have Dunlop Direzzas on my 19s.

Each TPMS works on its own and will set the light off then it is out of range, to high or to low, it has nothing to do with what the other tires are at.

I usually find out from my neighbor who owns a ferrari, his on ferrarichat.com so i'm pretty sure he finds out about the meets there. You can also look on the lambo fourms too.

Hope we run into them again...
