OEM tire pressure on 99 spec...

Hey guys,
I've been looking around and I've used the search. Alot of good threads regarding tire pressures and the situations you use the car in.

Does anyone know what the OEM tire pressure rating is for a 99+ RX-7? I'm pretty sure it's going to remain 32psi all around. Just wanted to know if anyone has first hand knowledge what Mazda put on the doors of these cars with the 17's??
Anybody have a pic?

Thanks,

Start with 32 psi and adjust from there as needed.

Now why would I want a bumpy ride???
The car is stiff enough as it is...

I've ran into a few 2002 RX7 Spirit R sites, but none of them have a pic of the tire pressures on the door.
I find it hard to believe there's not 1 RX-7 owner from Japan who could answer this question for me...

Lates,

Tire pressure is overwhelmingly dominated by the weight of the car. Since your FD weighs basically the same as a true 99 spec FD, you should run the same pressures. Changing tire width, profile, etc does not effect it enough to be of concern.

Some people find this hard to believe. It's fact. Always use the sticker on your car as the baseline pressure value for street driving.

Yes, exactly dgeesman... I didn't think it would change, but I was curious to see a pic of the actual sticker from a 99+ RX-7... just to satisfy my own curiousity...
