The tire pressure on the sidewall of a tire is the maximum allowable pressure as per the tire manufacturer's recommendation. The tire pressure indicated on a car's door jam/owner's manual is what the car manufacturer recommends for that particular car. It takes into account weight, tire wear, handling...etc. Always use the pressure that the car manufacturer recommends.Originally posted by Martin:
yes i know the psi will increase that's why i checked and put some in after i was driveing and it was 75 ish out. Wouldn't the Tire itself say what the best psi is? I mean they are makeing them @ goodyear. So why would lexus know better?![]()

Black/Ivory IS300
Tire Pressure
I know someone will have the answer to this one...
Is correct tire pressure more critical in low profile tires, such as those on the IS300?
My tires had lost about 2-3 lbs so I topped them off and I noticed (or thought I noticed) a significant difference in ride and handling.
My IS is the first car I've owned with low profile tires and I was just wondering if small pressure changes can really make a handling difference?
