Default Tire pressure Kumho's

Just mounted new Kumho run flat's. Really happy with them better feel no hard pulls and much quieter. Cold I have then at 28 lbs but they heat up to 32 lbs is that normal ? I never noticed that big of a fluctuation with the old Goodyears.

Wouldn't pay much mind to it. My kumhos usually bump up about 3lbs cold to heated. Nothing to worry about.

You are seeing the same thing I get with the same tire. You ought to see what they do on a race track! They go up about 8 PSI.

Fro what it's worth... I think the OEM Goodyear's did about the same.

I didn't know that Kumho's even came in runflats...hmm. I've got non-runflats on my '07 right now. They run good and smooth and handle beautifully in the mountains. A lot better than I expected for a non-expensive tire.
