"That sounds high for some reason for everyday driving... I usually have them at 32/35 for my tires. I would like to hear what anyone else thinks. Have I been driving with low pressure?"

I actually run 36/40 lbs, not 36/42 as I stated in my post. I went through a set of rear PS2's at 40 lbs and there was no unusual wear on the center of the tire. The higher pressure seems to give me the sidewall stiffness I like. I have had the front PS2's in the mid 30's for over 10K and they hardly show any wear. I will end up going through at least three sets of rear PS2's for one set of front tires.

BTW, I tried using 40 lbs on the rear set of Falken 512 tires I have, and they responded by wearing out more on the center of the tire until I adjusted the pressure down.

Topless, thanks for the advice, it should be fun,

Ed
