how much pressure

i was coming home from the golf course today and my tire pressure light came on twice and then no more i got home and got too dark to check with the gauge but they dident look low...... my question is this how much pressure do you recommend in the optional 18's with the BFG's...... no im not stupid or anything just making sure everyone runs differently or what should be ran in these tires

Just look on the inside drivers door jamb. Everything you need to know is right there.

I had a tire pressure light come on once.Tire pressure was O.K. on all tires but found out one of the wheels was out of balance. Another possibility is if you changed your wheels out and use the the aftermarket sensor bands,one of the bands can come loose and read out of balance as well and set off pressure alarm.It happened to a couple of times and had to replace the wheel band which was bad.

also, if your pressure is on the border of the programed required pressure it will come on and then as the tire heats up the pressue increases and your light goes out; this is most likely the reason this happend to you; i have on 05 so dont have this issue by my 09 sonata has had this happen after i bought it.

My tire pressure light came on when I installed my o/r h pipe. :retard: I HATE that system anyhow, still waiting for a tuner to come up with a way to delete it or bypass it.

I never get that? The TPMS is a pretty good system - cars dont work worth a **** when the tires crap out - the TPMS lights up when the tires are critically low (20% pressure loss - or 5-7 pounds in the case the average tire pressure). Yet people want to disable the monitering system of the most important safety system on the car.
