There are no good tailgaters!


I have very little experience with tire wear. I'm still on my original tires on my Yaris, and I had two sets on my old Elantra. When I first got the Elantra it had new Potenza G009s on it. I kept them at the pressure Hyundai recommended. After a few months the outer edges wore down quite a bit. My next set of tires were Falken ZE-512s. I played with the pressure until I found a comfortable psi, which was 40 psi. After 63,000 miles the treads had barely worn down at all.

I found the ride in the Yaris to be comfortable at about 42 psi on the stock Eagles. 9,000 miles in all is well.

I've been consulting this site for tips: http://www.carbibles.com/tire_bible_pg2.html Scroll down about 2/3 of the page.
