    Wheel Alignment question + 17" Tyre PSI

    Good day all,

    Finally got me 17" Mag and 215/45/R17 tyres.
    Balanced done already from the shop before sending.
    Spacers installed.

    Now the alignment question. Me old 15" oem Mags had alignment problems. The tyres were bad on the inner side. 3 out of 4 were like these.
    Will the new tyres have the same problem too?

    PSI question the tyres wrote 44psi .
    Is this too extreme folks?
    at the moment its 37PSI. read on some of the posts that 35psi is enuf.

    Thanks all.

    you should get your alignment checked and fixed if its off, or your new tires will have the same problem

    Webhosting for less than $3 a month? put "pinoyesv6" as a promo code.

    ah i see Pinoyesv6... the alignment problem rests with the car not the tyres then?

    also...
    is 44psi too much do you think?

    i don't think so... i'm running on 215/45/17's right now kumho ecsta asx tires and when i had them mounted the tire pressure was at 45 or so... it says 50 max on mine so i think it's cool.

    [20:33] lKoRTy: i dont know man
    [20:33] lKoRTy: i wil see topmorrow
    [20:33] lKoRTy: lol
    [20:33] fenderi: hopefully they did the car a favor and chucked them
    [20:34] lKoRTy: screw you
