What is everyone running as far as air pressure for normal driving?

PJWANNABE said:I think the main advantage to nitrogen fills is that it is dry unlike regular pump air so your tires last longer (less rot).

One ripped apart, I was not hurt but it bend up the bed and wrapped around the axle and brake lines. Something to keep in mind, I don't care if they were store in a dry/wet place or not, six years by date for me.

I have a mechanic friend of mine that swears running at 40 PSI is preferable to the recommended 35 PSI. I value his opinion, but still I would think the manufacturer of both the cars and the tires would know best. Plus at 35 PSI cold, when you've run them a bit they'll be higher than that anyway. I'm planning to run at 35 PSI, but will fill with nitrogen as soon as possible.BossMan said:I have found out that these tires really grip well and right now I am running @ 40psi. I like to run a little higher. I will keep an eye out for wear as well regarding air pressure.
Do you have your own tanks or a source close by to refill?jimprw said:I have a mechanic friend of mine that swears running at 40 PSI is preferable to the recommended 35 PSI.
