Hello,
Have a 2009 Buick LaCrosse. Tires on it are Nokian WRG2 225/60R16 98H
Folks at the dealership checked tire pressures during an oil change, and have now made them all 35 psi (when cold).
Have to admit that the car seems to handle a bit better with the higher pressures.
Used to be around 31 psi when cold and just starting out.
Tech Support at Nokian says to use what is on the car door sticker. They would not suggest any p which is a bit surprising as I thought the 'correct' pressure was probably more specific tire type determined, than what Buick would suggest.
Anyway, it's now 35 psi when cold. Goes up to about 38 after driving.
Car sticker says to set at 30 psi
Think what I have now (35/38 psi) is "safe" for summer driving ? Would hate to have a blowout due to higher pressures. 38 psi sounds quite high (to me). Is it ? Safety aspects are really important to me.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Bob
