Default Tire Pressure?

I have 19x8.5 for my front wheels and 19x9.5 for my rear wheels on my 2007 GT. My tires are Falken 452's. The front pair is 255/40-100Yand the Rear is 285/35-99Y. Now my question is, what pressure should I inflate my wheels? Do I inflate to the recommended pressure thats on my door sticker that says 32psi? Or should I inflate to theMaximum pressure on sidewall of my tires, which is 50 psi?


Im asking this to figure out whether or not it would make any sence toinstall my TPMS from off of my 17" stock wheels.....

Default RE: Tire Pressure?

You'll be OK to run them at the 32 psi sticker pressure. I am assuming, BTW, that your car started life with the 235/55-17, which is a Load Index 99 tire in standard load. And that the 32 psi is for both front and rear.

That 50 psi is a tire rating, not a recommended pressure for use.
