Default tire PSI questions

If all 4 tires on a vr4 AWD are all different PSI, for example, 51 PSI max on Falken tires is what i have, and if all 4 tires were let say 42 50 40 45 PSI, this could hurt the transfer case right, i hear that the psi has to be perfect, and the tires have to be the exact size to

You should NOT run your tires at max psi.

They should be right around 32 psi front and 35 psi rear.

The difference of 3 psi is not going to greatly change the overall cicumference.

wrong.


if your tires are rated at 51 psi, keep around 45 in them.

45 front and 41 rear would be a comfortable ride.

35 psi in them you would lose mileage and tire life


I dont think that small a difference would cause any adverse effects in your drivetrain
