Question Stock Tire Pressure

What's the stock tire pressure on the four tires for an RX8? My low tire pressure sensor was on this morning for about 3 miles before going off so I opened the door to take a look at what the tires should be set at and nothing is written on the sticker so I have no idea what to set them to.

Please help a poor little shinka owner with his tires.....

and many many more. Which door did you look on? Cause I have two sticker/plaques, one on the suicide door, and one on the front door. The one on the front door should have the tire pressure info. I'm assuming you meant for street driving, not competition. :D

Interestingly, the sticker on my driver's door is not filled out. There are blank spaces for the tire pressure, but they aren't filled in. (I should just write 32 psi in with a marker.) Does anyone else have a blank sticker on their car?

increase the pressure

I run 36-38psi in the tires. It increases sidewall stiffness, response and tire longevity.

I race superbikes and the optimum psi for maximum grip is 35 when hot. This means you need to start at 30 psi when cold. Tires on cars will never get this hot during road driving, so you can put at least 35 psi in them.

WOW, I am glad I am not the only one, my sticker is blank as well. I have been running 32psi in them as recommended all around, I check them every Sunday, same time I check the oil level. Call me ****, but I love pampering my 8.
