Default Yokohomas AVID 175/65r15

I choose those from the reviews online and a few people here. I am running them at 51 psi as printed on the side walls. They seem to corner great, handle ice and snow just fine, but going in a straight line it seems they allow you to be pushed around more by the wind and larger passing vehicles.

Its amazing how you can move a foot in either direction left or right, but when it comes to corners you are velcroed to the road.

Is it me, too much psi or what?

The more air you put in your tires, the less traction you will have. This may leave the car more susceptable to wind and larger vehicles.

34 thousand. Rotated twice. I am sure more rotation would of helped more.

Amazing how quiet the ride is and softer although its at 51psi.
