    Sometimes in the rear 28psi is best, they really don't need much at all to maintain flatness with the road.

          I'm surprised soo many people are running diff front and rear psi
          I run 33 psi around town driving
          I run 34 psi long trips
          Track skinnies get 40-42 psi
          Rear drag's get 19.5 psi
          et streets get 16

            With 275/40R17s I run about 35-36 in them all.
            On stock tires I was running 32, but the edges kept wearing, so I went to 35 psi and it worked fine.
            If you look in your door panel, it says to run 30 all the way around (which is for maximum COMFORT only, not wear or anything.) but if you look at anouther sticker somewhere on the door jamb, it says to use 35/35 for higher speed driving (don't we all?). So 35/35 is what I swear by.

            Some people run 32/32 or 30/30 and then by the time they finally check them again (months down the road) they are at 20/20. Check them often and keep at LEAST 32/32 for long life and decent traction.

            From all my experience working on tires and selling them, I say 35/35.

              At least 32 for long life? I put mine at 32 and I got wear on the center tread. So I put it in 30 and left it there and got 58k out of the stock tires.

              Now on my 245s I put it at 32 cuz my friend's Z28 door jam says 32 and I got slight wear on the center again. I am going to lower it to 31 or 30. prolly 31 since it was slight.

                  AutoX: 40 front, 28 rear (yes, 40/28, helps stop oversteer from 32/21 bars, and helps the front tire not roll over)

                  Street: 36/32 ish
