Higher pressure will also result in the steering to feel a little "quicker"...it'll turn easier for the same reasons stated above...less resistance. But, you feel every pebble in the road too. I stick to 32-35.

What PSI would you guys reccomend for me? I drive mostly highway, daily driver, no track racing...I've got 20x10 in the back and 20x8.5 in the front; tires are TOYO Proxy 4s, front: 245/35/ZR20, rear: 295/30/ZR20.

I believe they are all at 32psi atm...

considering I have a 30 series tires all around and like my chrome with no nicks or chips from potholes in the pothole state of the country I run mine at 38-40 psi all around. Yes I feel the bumps and yes the 20's do decrease the function of my suspension but I really love the look and for me it is not that bad as some have described with having 20's. JMO

I am still running the stock wheels and the tire shop that has been taking care of all of my cars for the pas 14 years set my tire pressure at 41 psi front and rear and said that that was the tire manufacture's recommended tire pressure and forget about what the Ford says... They did not make the tires, just the car. I was having a lot of tire ware at 32 psi.

So if Ford (or any other car manufacturer for that matter) can obtain better fleet fuel mileage averages to satisfy the CAFE requirements at higher tire pressures, why are they all recommending tire pressures well below the tire manufacturers rated max pressure? I doubt that our comfort is more important to them then their CAFE compliance.

If you value your wheels I would run them alot closer to 40 psi
