STR Tire Pressure?
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Could someone with the STR staggered tire sizes (front: 245/40ZR18; rear: 275/35ZR18) take a look at the spec sticker in the driver's door jamb, and let me know what front/rear tire pressures are specified?
I'm converting my non-STR 4.2 to the staggered setup and would like to know if the pressures are different from my current F/R 35psi/35psi.
Thanks!

Depends on tires. Yokohama will differ from Bridgestone, Michelin, Falken, Kumho, etc... One brand may need to be at 40psi another brand may be over inflated at 40psi... See what I'm saying? Here's an example: 2012 Lexus IS350 with Michelin tires, 35psi. Same car with Yokohama, 32psi. You basically gotta see how they are wearing. If they are over inflated the centers will wear faster. Under inflated the inside and outside edge wear faster. Again all tires differ

Your 2003 pressure specs seem to be quite different than the 2006 specs (40 rear) that Injekter quoted earlier in this thread. Maybe they changed the OEM tire supplier? Also changed the door jamb for the sticker? Hmmm. I guess of more significance is the delta-P from front to rear.

Thanks for the added details. Looks like Jaguar specified more than one set of tire pressure specs for the STR over the production run (product refinement?). My 2008 4.2 non-R specifies 35 front and rear. Your 2006 STR specifies 40 front and rear. So I guess when I go to the staggered STR set-up, I'll just play around within that range, at least initially.
