checks pressure about every half a month for me with 240psi.

i had my pressure up to about 280psi at one time given by the mechanic during routine servicing and it was a good for performance in dry weather. But handling feels off during wet.

Hey guys I'm also on 19"

Front 235/35/19
Back 275/30/19

I have no idea what the numbers mean. But the mechanic told me these are the numbers.

What tyre pressure should I go for? I desire good fuel consumption. Thanks

they represents width/aspect ratio/rim size

see http://www.michelinman.com/US/en/tires/235/35/19.html

and shouldn't u be asking the same mechanic about pressure and consumption?

also, am curious on what is the car model that you are driving. sounds like a goods vehicle.

We are all having fun isnt it? You are out of luck though. There are no cars using such a combination of tyre sizes on the local market.

Eh why not? Likely a rwd car with staggered rims

Im also driving a rwd with staggered setup

You can use any combo of staggered sizes. But in reality only certain combinations are used. That combi was almost certainly made up coz I never seen it before.

I don't trust my mechanic and I'm planning to move out once all is done.

The previous owner heavily modded the car and I just spend like loads of money trying to restore it back.

That's the sizes he texted me.

The sizing at the driver's door will not show this as the previous owner changed the rims. The rims are extremely expensive and I've no intention to swap back again. Planning to keep the 19" rims but tyres doesn't have to be the same right.

Thanks, first time owner here.

There are certainly such tyres. I've asked around and getting quotes like $400++ for one Michelin/conti6 tyre. I'm going to go for cheap ones like Achilles as I don't desire pouring even more money into this car.

I pumped 250 for all 4 tyres a few days ago.

My TPMS showed 240 when cooled.

But when driving, the ride becomes much more bumpy.
