Hi All,
Since I picked up my 2018 Touring 2.0T, I thought the ride was a bit harsh on country roads, etc. I later discovered the dealer had set the tire pressure to almost 38 lbs!! The sticker on the door suggest 33 lbs. I think all models have the Michelin tires? Not certain. But there is no "model name" on the tires. I chatted with Michelin and asked if they could help me identify the model name. They did and I forget the name at the moment but they also suggested the 33 lbs per the door sticker. I even talked with my dealer and they thought 38 was too high as well. Suggested i move it down to 34-35.
I have yet to do this. Thought I would ask the board what they are doing in this area? I am under the impression a less inflated tire will help smooth out the harsh ride but also may negatively impact the handling. Has anyone noticed this and made a change?
Thx DD
