Well are they? I have a 2004 S2000 with stock tires and wanted to know if you inflate your tires to 32 PSI. Thanks

Mine's an '01 but I run the street tires at 35 psi cold all around. I certainly wouldn't run them at less than 32.

When I got it home from the dealer, they were at 40+ all around.

I run 'em at 33 now, and my butt can feel the difference on rough roads.

The max for the RE050 (stock 04 tire) is 51.

The manual says 32PSI so mine are always inflated to 32PSI then I let them go to about 26-28 or so before they get inflated again.

You should find out why one or more of your tires are getting that low to begin with. If it were me, I wouldn't let them go below 30.
ps. Mine's an '00 and I run 35. On an '04 however, due to the aspect ratio of the tires, you'd have to run factory specs till you figure out your tire wear pattern and then go from there.

I thought that was me only. I just check this moring and my MY04 was running 44.5 all around. Nuts... I dropped it back down to 32.5. Why would the factory do that??

They all go down to 28PSI after a few months. If it was just one I would be worried
