Tire pressure Kumho's
 
Just mounted new Kumho run flat's. Really happy with them better feel no hard pulls and much quieter. Cold I have then at 28 lbs but they heat up to 32 lbs is that normal ? I never noticed that big of a fluctuation with the old Goodyears.

Wouldn't pay much mind to it. My kumhos usually bump up about 3lbs cold to heated. Nothing to worry about.:cheers:

You are seeing the same thing I get with the same tire. You ought to see what they do on a race track! They go up about 8 PSI.

Fro what it's worth... I think the OEM Goodyear's did about the same.

That is normal for any tire....

I didn't know that Kumho's even came in runflats...hmm. I've got non-runflats on my '07 right now. They run good and smooth and handle beautifully in the mountains. A lot better than I expected for a non-expensive tire.
