35 is fine you could drop the rears to 32 for a bit better grab but the difference is barely noticeable, dont drop it much lower. if you run higher pressure you get better gas mileage because there is less rolling resistance. i run 35 in the front and 32 in the rear, its all just personal preference

For yearstry to keeptires at 35-36psi and rotateevery 10,000. Stock BF Goodrich on my 06, 215R65X16,replaced at 44,000,000 because they were justtoonoisy and still had another easy 25,000 left. Replaced with General 's Touring Tire 225R60X16, Ultimax RT. Car still stays the same light weight with these Generals andcorneringis improved over Goodrich.

My soft rubber Blizzak snow tires on Sears cheap alum. rims,try tokeep 38-40psi [opens up the treadeven more] for bite and sacrifice forrougher ride. Wear on tread for the past 2 winters totaling 22,000,is just perfect with 150 lbs in the trunk. I rotate them every 5,000.

I also have my own compressor andIuse Milton's tire pressure gauge, pencil type. This is my gig on psi.

Run whatever keeps the sidewall from folding over in turns.
You can see sidewall riding by the scuff marks on them.
The recommended PSI on the door sticker is what it is
for the load rating of the BFGs.

I am running 36 (cold) all around. Ride is compliant and I know the tire is not heating up excessively. Sure, it grips better at 28ish, but at $700 a set...I need these tires to last a while!

I check mine weekly (cold) and will rotate them with every oil change (7500 miles).
