So i've had this nagging in my head about how my tyres always look flat but they never are. I set the fronts at 36 PSI and the backs at around 30-33 PSI

However they always look flat when the cars sat on the road or drive way. Anyone else noticed this or know why it does it?

I have standard R16 dunlops on them at the minute but have noticed it with all the tyres.

Low profile? 35-45?

I have a 57 Civic 1.8 running 225/45 Dunlop SportMaxx RT tyres all around. I have settled on 34PSI at the front and 31 at the rear. This is above what Honda recommends, which is 30 PSI all round.

I think the tyre has quite a soft sidewall and the sidewalls at the front do bulge a bit. However, the car feels good.
