I've been researching this for the past few days and I've finally decided on going with 32 psi in the front and 34 psi in the rear. What's your Psi reading?

32 all around... some tires state the recommended PSI along the outer rim of the tire. Read that fine print. ;)

35/35, 38 is bit harsh but still driveable if you're looking for more performance

my t1-s say the max psi capacity is 40 so i think im good with 38. i dont really care about performace, more concerned with getting better gas mileage at the moment. with 2.80/gallon every little thing counts.

$1.93 here in Pennsylvania for 87 octane:wiggle: $2.10 for 93 octane, so not too bad here.

if my tire is a 215/40/17 and has a 40 max psi, what psi do you guys recommend??

32PSI it's what my door jam says so..

oh yeah and running too much PSI will wear the middle of your tires. too little will wear the outside. tires are more expencive than saving a few pennys on gas on each fillup.

Well, I wrote to a few tire companies (I.e. Tire Rack, Discount Tires, Just Tires, etc.) yesterday and got a consensus. I took all the #s they gave me a averaged them out. But here's the thing, my tire set up is different from a lot of people so, it may vary by a few Psi for the rest. I have 215-35-18 in the fronts, which are going to set up @ 36 Psi (since it's the heavier end of the car) and 225-40-18 in the rear, which be will be set to 33 Psi. As I said B4 those are for my tire set up. Yours may differ + or - a few Psi, but as some1 stated B4, DO NOT fill to the MAX, or under fill below 32 Psi, no matter what size. NEwhere in between 32 Psi or your tire -5 Psi below the MAX should B fine, depending on your preference of stiffness/softness. GOOD LUCK & HAPPY HUNTING!

Post your results.

Yeah, in venezuela where I believe it's .18 a gallon as a benefit to having their own government and gas and sh1t. U'd like 93 octane at .18/gallon

OMG we dont get 93 octane readily at most gas stations in California and I paid $2.59/gallon the week before for 89 octane on my GT.

Jeez the worst part about living here is the traffic and gas. At least we have alot of autoshops and car part stores.
