I keep my tires at 34 or 35 psi. Summer and winter tires.

Props for starting your own thread!

32.

You can't go by "look" of the tire when it is sitting there. You can go by tread wear, but never the look.

Always go with the recommended tire pressure of the car, you can't go by the tire, because they can't assume they know the weight of your car, and all they have is a max PSI which is when failure can occur.

Thank god no one has said 44psi. I get so tired of arguing with customers. Always go with door sticker assuming you are running factory sized tire +/- 5 psi. I run 35 front/32 rear. All customer w-bodies get set to 30psi. A radial tire will have a "squashed" look when aired up properly.

I run mine at 32-34 PSI. Generally speaking, if the tires are starting to wear more on the outer edge as they get older, then I'll pump them up to 35-36 to try and even out the wear more. But I never go over that.

The look isn't the only factor I go by, although it does help. Also how it feels and most importantly how it drives. My car weighs a couple hundred pounds more than factory so I have to consider that when refilling as well.

Seeing all the mid 30's responses here has made me wonder just why I've been doing so well with 40psi all along. I've had no problems with it and it's actually driven better at 40 than at 30. Whatever works, I guess.
