Tire pressures on the tires are the manufacturer's recomendation for the
max pressure only . Always go by the vehicle manufacturer's
recomendation as a starting point . The tire people do not know what
vehicle or its weight you are mounting his tire on . I can't count the
times that I've picked my car up after new tires and the front end
floats like its got 0 or pos. toe and rides like a truck & found the
tires at max pressure . I personaly run 38 psi in the front and rear and
check them on a weekly basis or everytime I plan on running at high
speed over 120 mph . I can actually feel a little squirm if they drop
below 36 psi.
Last is the speed rating on the tire is only good at max pressure .
