What tire pressure are you running in the cooler weather, (5-15 Degrees C)?

Recommended pressure is 36 PSI front, 44 rear. Should I leave as is?

Thanks.

 

I'm running 30/33 cold with up to temp pressure of 35/38......in 40-50F WA weather

 

Suggest you inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. The ride may be firmer, but you'll get better wear. you should know that the Pirelli's are not recommended for use below 7 degrees Celsius.
Do you plan on driving through the Canadian winter? Time for some winter wheels and tires!

 

There are two sets of settings. The higher is for very high speeds, which are very far beyond speed limits US or Canadian roads. The lower is for normal driving. I run 33 F and 37 R and have 17 k miles and outstanding wear. It was fine for a bit of track driving too. In typical non-winter temps, they go up ~3lbs front and rear in normal driving.

I went through last winter with the OEM 20 in Pirellis, but very much restricted use (have another car with all season tires). Handling and braking diminish as temps approach freezing. The handling part is doable; the car doesn't get loose in non spirited driving. But... the car is dangerous on a snowflake and the braking is an accident waiting to happen as emergency stops are not predictable, and hard stopping distances are mucho longer.

 

Ride is terrible with higher pressures/ cold temps...... You might as well ice skate. I don't drive Pcar if temps below
40F, that's what SUV are for. In terms of higher wear on Pirelli , sooner they are wasted sooner can get MPSS .

 

It calls for 36 front and 44 rear on the door sticker. I understand there are two settings, normal and high speed, I'm assuming the recommended setting of 36/44 is the high speed setting.

So in 40-50° weather what PSI should I be running if I want to run according to the comfort setting, 33 front and 38 rear?

 

Comfort w/part load is 31/34 (set cold)
You don't need any higher than that (normally).
If your temps creep up when driving, it means you are getting some heat in the tires, which is good in cold weather.

 

I think the 36/44 is for high performance track driving. I go with somewhere between the high performance setting and comfort setting like 34/40.

 

32/36 here.

 

I always has 42 in my low pros.. Seems a bit stuff but keeps ridged

 

32/39 here.
