Tire pressure for Bridgestone S-03's - 235/45R17???
Just got my Oettinger 17X8 wheels and S-03's!! What a difference!!!!!! And the car looks fantastic!
My car (01 2.7T non-sport) came with OEM 215/55R16's. Door jam on car only states PSI for 16 inch wheels. Presently running 40 all around and the ride is definitely a bit harsher BUT AMAZING!!
I know trial & error is probably going to be the rule, but where do I start???
Thanks!

I'm running 40/front and 38/rear...
I have the S-03's on 17X8 O.Z. Superleggeras. Compensates a little for the natural understeer and makes the car a little more neutral.

Update....
Have been running 40 front and 38 rear for last 3 days and I must say these tires are fantastic. Dry handling is almost scary - havent found cars limit on cloverleafs... Rained in CT recently and wet handling is also great. Only issue is tire wear on S-03s - dealer said about 20-25K depending on driving style. Ive only got 450 miles on them now, and figure they are still breaking in....highly recommend S-03s!!!

Great...
I've found that the car/tire limit is now greater than mine. I guess that's a good thing =8^)
Has it hit 80 deg yet? If it hasn't, you'll notice even more 'stick' when it does.
