Tire Pressure ?? WT( Heck )

[markssylver]

with the car in park or withe the brake on you go through the menu in the dic to vehicle information then select the tire pressure screen then you hit the clear/reset button on the end of the turn signal stalk then the horn will bloww twice then it will relearn

Thanks-- It did just as you said -- It shows all 4 corners @32lbs--
Guess I'll go and check the pressure with my One-Shot Tire Inflater

How accurate is the one-shot tire inflater ?
It sounds very intresting. I guess you paid about $25. for it ?

It's right on the Lb. I set it for 36 lbs and the red lite comes on
when the tire pressure reaches same. Also, the DIC reports same.
Yea-- I pd. $24.95 plus $8.00 S/H for a total of $ 32.95.

keep in mind when you drive the tires will INCREASE a few pounds, so i would say drive around for 10 minutes, get the tires warmed up, not doing burn outs mind you, and then check the readings, add accordingly.

Per the Owners Manual "Tire pressure should be checked when your tires are cold."

Yes you set the pressure when cold ( BEFORE you drive the car) !!!!

That goes for any car, All listed tire pressures are set before you drive the car
(COLD) or after the car sits for at least 1 Hr.
Yes the pressure goes up after you drive it. That is the way it is meant to be.

Then you are setting them too LOW !!

PS.. the 19" or RS 20" tires are rated at 50 lbs. max.

true, read them cold, then read them hot, then add accordingly

Do that and your tires will be UNDER inflated .........

Read the manual pg. 9-55

Set pres. when COLD !!

Tires must be filled cold. To get a baseline, check first thing in the morning. I filled mine up 3 weeks ago to 36 psi, then checked again this morning and they were 32 psi.

Why?

Ambient temps here have dropped 20-30 degrees since. You must check your pressures every two weeks to maintain the pressures, especially when temps rise or drop significantly.

I have mine at 36 psi and have remained steady with no fluctuations since the ambient temps have stabilized. If there are no leaks in the tire, 36 psi cold in June equates to 30-32 psi cold in October.
