For the road I run 30PSI in my rear, 28PSI in the front.

My tires are okay to pressures of up to 35PSI by Sidewall reference.

This wears them evenly just fine.

For all you running PSI of door - umm, that's for STOCK tires -- just hoping you know that, because running a different size tire is definitely going to need a different pressure.

Also, running tires over the suggest PSI just seems dumb.

If your running stock tires go with the manufactures numbers.  They will inflate the tires to the max pressures to get the best gas milage out of them.  Then next will be the ride concideration.

OR

The best thing to do is just try a couple pressures and see how you like it and how it handles.

The important thing is that the oppsite tire has the same pressure in it.

When I'm on the road (32-11.5 tires) I run anywhere from 20-25.  Off road I run anywhere from 4 - 15 psi.  And if I'm on the low side I'll run a couple pounds more in the front because of the weight.  It'll give the same pattern as the back that way.
