phillydude Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Checked my tire pressures today... lower than I thought. 23 in the front, 30 in the rear. Door jamb says should be 29 all around, but that's for the Z rated tires which are no longer on the car. I filled them to 34 all around and the car felt better. But what would YOU, the Cadillac experts, recommend for the 94 STS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I run my '97 at 35-37 all around. Much better handling and response. Also better mileage. Just don't exceed the specs on the sidewall of your particular tire...different tires do vary. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?"

Just don't exceed the specs on the sidewall of your particular tire...different tires do vary. I agree. I was running about 30, and the tires were wearing on the outsides.

growe3 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I run 30 PSI in my two 93 STS's and they handle fine. No unusual tire wear. I am getting ready to replace on set now that has just reached the wear bars at 65k + miles. Mostly freeway at 75+, with a good piece of Hwy 50 curving mountain driving. I use Michelin Pilot XGT Z4 225/60 x 16. These may be a little stiffer than some of the other brands being used. More than 30 PSI in these tires just makes your car ride rough. -George Drive'em like you own 'em. - ....................04 DTS............................

CaddyShack24 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 1993 STS, Michelin Energy MXV4 .. keep them at around 32 PSI (235-60-R16) Reminds me, I need to rotate and balance them sometime.. thanks just went out and looked, little wore around the outside edge.. either low pressure or cutting corners to fast. I'm guilty of both. Will pump it up to 34 PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Well, I don't drive a Seville but I always run 35. I was told, years ago by a Firestone dealer that they will wear a bit better (I got 86600 out of XW4's). Two weeks ago when I bought my new Symytry's they put 35 in them as well.

Regis Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Running Dunlop SP5000's ..... currently at 33psi which is great on dry conditions for giddyup and go but feels a little squirrely in mod-heavy rain. At 30-31psi they cut through rain like a knife. -kg "Burns" rubber " I've never considered myself to be all that conservative, but it seems the more liberal some people get the more conservative I become.

jrdjrd7 Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Michelin MXV 4 (225/60/16 97H) - 38psi all the way around. Even wear and great handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince P Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 1994 SLS Label on my door says 35psi for high speed. I run 36 psi all the time. I don't like odd numbers. Vince P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaddyJack Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Running Goodyear RSA Plus (after many sets of Goodyear GAs) - keeping the tire pressure @ 32 - hint: try a digital tiore gauge - very accurate to the 1/2 pound! 197,000 miles on my '93 STS and running strong with Mobil 1.

Logan Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 36 psi you will feel every bump and wear pattern in the road. I personally run 29 psi.

kcd1184 Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Just got back from a week at the lake in Wisconsin. Ran my new Cooper Lifeliner Touring SLE H-rated tires up and back and all week on those great Wisconsin roads. The car door recommended pressure for my 94 Eldo tires is 28psi front and 26psi rear. I run 30psi front and 28psi rear and just for the straight highway trip up and back, I ran 34psi all the way around. Those are the numbers I've come up with after four other Caddys.(3 Eldos and a Seville) I know alot of you people run Michelin tires, but my new Cooper tires really impressed me.

mfeldman Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Just replaced my OEM 235 x 55 /17 tires on my 2002 STS with 34,000. Very surprised that they went so fast. Replaced with Micheleins. I kept my pressure at 32psi cold. Also, went through a right front wheel bearing at 22K miles. Car rides like silk. Any thoughts?
