I just got a new set of wheels and tires, they are staggerd 20x 8.5 front and 20x 10 rear. the front tires are 255/35's and the rears are 295/30. Ive never had this THIN of a tire before and Im wondering what AIR pressure to run them at. The sidewalls say 50 MAX, but I want a Good ride without under inflating them. Any suggestions?

Sorry forgot, im new. Ive got a 2005 GT 5-spd, Sonic Blue Bullitt Motorsports wheels, AFE intake, SCT tuner, JBA axle back, Weapon X COP's, Ford CMDP's and various exterior styling stuff.

I would NOT under inflate them

This can cause some poor handling, uneven tire wear and even a blow-out, if too low. My general recommendation is to start with about 12 PSI below the max listed on the sidewall when the tires are COLD. Once some highway driving for a while, the pressure will rise about 8 PSI or so. See how this feels and how responsive the car is in cornering, stopping and such.

You will not find the "comfortable" ride you had prior, so your standards are gonna have to be modified more than just a little, I'm afraid

Ok thats where ive got them at 38 psi, and they feel pretty good. I just wanted to make sure that wasnt to low. The ride pretty well for such a thin tire, I did notice a small change in ride but not drastic, and they look Great. Thanks.
