[QUOTE="allenfrx, post: 1224606, member: 26006"] Thats the recommended cold pressure on these. I run my sports car below pressure in the summer on purpose as it recommends 36PSI cold and when they get hot they hit 42psi. That causes you to lose traction so i run them at 31 or 32 PSI and ride around with warning lights on all the time. In the winter i air them up a but because you cant get much traction on cold tires anyway so no sense trying to *** those 4.2 second quarter miles anyway. So how much preasure do you run in raptor? The ride feels very smooth to me. You want bouncy? Try a GT500 with after market suspension on top of the SVT pckg We joke that you could tell the diffetence betweem a penny, a dime or a quarter by running over with the car and once you got good you could count the change in the road along your commute by feel.....its THAT hard. The Raptor feels like a 76 CC coupe de'ville by comparision??? Hell, its smoother than the 16 explorer i traded for it and on par with my old titan. The roads round here are pretry rough... One road in a particular will send my sports cars airborne and is so bad you have to fight the wheel to keep the pavement from pulling those super sport tires and driving you right in the adjacent lane...and this happens when the wheel is fixed in a perfectly straight line. You literally have to turn the wheel to the left like you are getting into the turn lane just to keep the car straight (perfromance tires are the issue. Cars with all weather tires don't seem to do it on that road) I told my wife we finally have a vehicle we can do the speed limit on Wrightsboro road without tearing it up...
