Hello All  :)





I got new rims and tires for my 3600miles old 96 base.  The wheels are 

Buddy Club P1's and the tires are Toyo f24(I think) 195*50*15.  



The story...

When the shop (carmate in Glendale CA) put the wheels on they were at 

*40* psi!!!  I remembered what everyone said about the 26 psi for the 

miata...so I lowered the pressure down to 29 psi.  I stopped there b/c 

they started looking kind of flat.  I am glad that I checked the pressure 

the next day because I thought the ride was very bumpy unlike what 

everyone said about the HUGE ride improvement.  Once I lowered to 29psi 

the ride improved tremendously.  It's much better now.  Thanx everyone.



Well, my question is should I let it stay at 29psi or lowered them down 

to the recommended 26psi??





Thanks.
