Thread: How long did your original Bridgestone RE050s last?

  1. Default

    I have around 38-40 psi in my tyres depending on what I'm doing.

    Lower profile tyres need more pressure because of the stiffer sidewall. This prevents the sides from rubbing out before the centre.

    I do mostly city driving (approx 80%) and am just about to get some Toyo's put on this Saturday. The odometer reads just under 32k, and the tyres are evenly scrubbed out. They're a little less than legal atm.

    Coming up to 52,000. Nuts isn't it?

    I credit 7-10K periodic visits to Rick's Wheel Alignment at Albion for that, and my mature and very sensible driving style. Clarry will vouch for that, eh?!

    Ordered a set of Sumitomo HRT ZIII 225/45/18s from TyrePower Albion $248 which are currently on the ocean, expected before month end.

    Cheers to all....

    i got 20,000kms out of mine, do mostly city driving rarely any highway... did tyre rotations every 5,000kms and ran 42psi front and rear...

    i now got 225/35R20's on the cx9 wheels just wondering if anyone knows what the optimum psi is to run on these?

    With a profile that low, you'd want to be careful on rough roads! Around 40psi should be OK, but I'm not a tyre expert, so would probably ask your tyre retailer for their professional opinion. Also frequently check your tyre wear and if the centre is wearing quicker then they are over inflated, the reverse for under inflation.
    Hope this helps a bit!

    Hi ToxicMPS & Shakespeare,
    On your Goodyear Eagles F1 GS-D3, What tyre size you chosed for your MPS6? Dont think they have it on 215-45-18 spec at the moment.

    Los Palmas7, I went with 225/40/18 on 7.5" rims not stock. It is not safe to run 40 series at 225 width on 7" rims (45 series OK)

    In the end I swapped my 40 series Goodyears for 45 series Yokohama S-Drives in the same width, main reason, as I have it lowered on coilovers the front was very low with the 40 series and the ride was harsh, the 45's give me a bit more clearance and more rubber to absorb the bumps.

    Anyway back on topic, the Goodyear's gave me about 15,000kms and were only 35% worn, and so far the Yokohama's are pretty similar in wear to the Potenza's (ie. I should see about 32,000kms)

    Got 32klms from Oem Potenzas,80% highway travelling ,boosted to 40psi and rotated every 5k . Thought that was reasonable for sticky compound.
