    Default Tyre pressure questions

    My VS ute has 235/45/17s, the fronts are Kuhmo and say max pressure 44psi, the rears are Bridgestone and say max pressure 51psi, so what sort of pressure should I be running? Should I go to the max level or is there a 'standard' pressure for these tyres?

    i have 345/35 on 19's and i run 46 psi... steering seems very responsive and sticks to the road very well.. though im gonna start running 40 psi for a while and see how that goes... at 46 you feel every slight crack in the road

    Im running 18 x 8's and running 40psi all round. IMO it gives excellent road handling and also gets good mileage from the rubber.
