2023 Nissan Z Tyre pressure

[Katum68]

Nissan recommends 35 psi but the book says lower. My Nissan dealer puts them at 35 psi.

When I went the Lime Rock after each hot session I had to deflate the tires back to 32/29. I did notice that the left tires were inflating 3psi more than the right, since Lime Rock is mostly right turns, load goes to the left tires. Next time I go I want to try offsetting the pressure before doing laps. So left tires will be 29/26 and right 32/29 to see if they equalize during the session.

Reading this brought back many memories from the 1960's. Sports cars and Lime Rock. Lotus Elans beating Corvettes through the curves and Vettes blowing by anything in the straights, except Cobras.

Nissan recommends 35psi yet the tag on the car says 32/29. Sometimes ya gotta figure stuff out for yourself because the mfg isn't always right.

Lime Rock is a lot of fun with the Z.

Dealer had mine at 45psi. I set them cold to 32/29 and after a short trip they increased to 35/32.

Just picked my car up from an oil change. When I dropped off the tires were perfectly inflated, when I picked up, this:

The "max pressure" on the sidewall of my tires is 50 psi, so the person who did this must have read that and went to town, cranking the pressure up dangerously high...on three of the tires, and then what, smoke break? IDK. Ridiculous.

I stopped at the nearest gas station and reduced these to sensible numbers.
