Default GT500 wheel question

Hey y'all,

For those of y'all with the GT500 rims (whether it's because you have the GT500 or because you got some takeoff rims), what PSI do you keep your front and rear tires at?

Is it the same as the GT's (32 PSI)? Or is it different?

Thanks!

I keep mine at 33 PSI after experimenting from 36 down to 28 PSI.

Switched to 35 today from 32 and WOW did my ride quality and mpg improve. like 3 mpg, (no kidding) and places where the road was a little worse would feel smoother.

I thought I was going crazy after switching my rims from my stock 17" machined aluminum's, but it was air pressure all along.

Thanks for the help guys!
