99+ oem tire pressure...

Hey guys,

I tried posting a thread in the 3rd section but I totally forgot it's better to post something like this in this section...

I was wondering if some of you guys could tell me what the stock OEM tire pressure is on 99+ RX-7's??

If it's not too much trouble, could someone post a pic?

Thanks,

post a pic of what?

I went to mazda to get a tire placard (states that the car comes with 17" rims as standard) - this is what you would call a '99-spec' part - and there's no indication on the sticker (iirc, I'll check tomorrow).

Huh??? If you have the tires then you they have the recomended tire pressure labeled on them. And if you do have 7 year old tires you probably should not worry about the pressure as much as you should worry about replacing them. Also this is better off in the 3rd gen section. The east forum is not everyones resource for anything Japanese. If I want to say something about In N Out burger do I have to post it in the West (California etc. section?) Sorry you wont get much response to this in here I dont think.

Sorry guys, I think I didn't communicate properly.

What I meant to say is, do you guys know what the OEM Tire pressure sticker on the door of the car says? I know here in North America if you want to know what pressure to set your tires you open the drivers side door and you'll find the Factory pressure recommendation sticker. For North America it was 32psi for 225/50/16's.
We never got 99 spec cars so I was wondering what the sticker says for the 17's that came with it?

Hope that helps...

Thanks again,

Ok guys, this is what I meant... got the pic from a fellow UK driver with a 2002 Spirit R.



Again, out of curiousity, can someone translate what the sticker is saying??

Thanks,
Lates,

bottom line is (paraphrasing): "the tire air pressure, whether general driving or high speed driving, is the same"

I realise why I didn't spot the pressure rating - not in psi :p

Excellent... thanks guys... at least I know the small differences the cars went through when they were redesigned in 99.

32psi it is...

actually, it all depends on what kind of tire you are using. is it H rated, HR rated or Z rated, coz they require different pressure settings. read the markings on the tire and u'll have ur answer.
