Default Tire pressure

For those of you that have Michelin Pilot Sports what pressure are you running in your tires? I finally got my lo pro jack and did all my mods today. Eradispeeds,HRE's,Lowered. Car looks bad butt! No money left for a digital camera :p:

Last idiotic question the tire rotation arrow points to the front of the car right? :lol:

Did you guys notice an increase in tire noise over the stock tires?

Thanks for the info.
JOHN

I believe that its universally recommended to follow the manufacturer's posted tire pressure which for the C5 is 30 pounds. That was certainly an issue in the Ford versus Firestone as cause for the Explorer's tire problems.

Tire rotation arrows point in the direction of the rotation! Pretty simple! Would not want to actually say pointing forward. If you have to ask this question then to just say "yes to the front" I think might also leave you confused! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: If the arrows are at the bottom of the tire, which way are they pointed? :lol: :lol: :lol:

They are to point in the direction that they rotate! Only too obvious! :)

Well, that's simple. Carry a floor jack and lug wrench and get to work whenever you want to back up. :lol: :lol: :lol:
