They were then supposed to be checked and lowered to the recommended operating pressure by the dealer. However most dealers didn't do this and a lot of cars were rolling around with 60 psi until the owners figured it out. 6spdG8 02-07-2007, 10:44 PM This was to stop flat spotting since they sat on the boat for so long and then in holding lots until they passed customs....just in case anyone asks. monaro_gto 02-07-2007, 11:48 PM the reasoning was understood, so many dealers though were not lowering them to their correct pressure.

Not sure but I thought all cars have to have them by 2008 MY... or was that 2009:confused: pinski 10-05-2007, 08:33 AM This will be down the road but when the G8's come in be sure to check the tire pressures.

Kinda pathetic that the dealers didn't know how to properly prep the vehicles. the reasoning was understood, so many dealers though were not lowering them to their correct pressure. Sound reasoning indeed, but it would've taken the dealers about 10 minutes, tops, per vehicle to get them ready for road use... drop the psi in the tires and remove the rubber stops from the springs. pinski 10-10-2007, 11:46 AM Will the G8 have a tire pressure monitor in it? I was just at Pontiac.com looking at all the different options and specs for the G8. According to the website, all G8s will come with the DIC, which will include tire pressure information. zog 10-23-2007, 08:32 AM Sound reasoning indeed, but it would've taken the dealers about 10 minutes, tops, per vehicle to get them ready for road use... drop the psi in the tires and remove the rubber stops from the springs. We are talking Poncho dealers here. They haven't had a performance vehicle since 2002...... appletonrc 10-23-2007, 09:00 PM Is the raised tire pressure standard procedure for all imports? | ||
