S sunwolf New member Dec 31, 2014 #1 I will post a pic in a little bit but I have a question. I got 225/60/r18 snow tires and I was wondering how to figure out what pressure to put them at. I don't think it should be the same as my 20s should it?

S SHOdded Moderator Staff member Dec 31, 2014 #2 I'd stick with OEM recommendation to start, as long as tire load range and overall height remain the same. 32 psi 2010-2012, 35 psi 2013+ I believe.

P PokerMunkee New member Dec 31, 2014 #3 I run 38-40 PSI on my winter setup. Higher the better, helps with handling on those soft sidewalls.
S sunwolf New member Dec 31, 2014 #4 The whole thing about 18s is there is more sidewall so I would think pressure should be higher.
Z ZSHO New member Dec 31, 2014 #5 Snow tires usually need 3-6 psi more than all season or summer tires,so if your owners manuel recommends 35psi,so 3-6 psi will do. http://www.tirerack.com/winter/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=168¤tpage=116 so basically around 40psi would be a good number.
