I'm currently running roughly 38 psi after warmed up. What are the rest of you running?

I'm running 36 PSI in my Yokohama AVS ES !00's in 205/45-16 size. I find this just about the optimal pressure both for good handling in the twisties and decent ride quality and comfort on long trips.

36 PSI cold. When I have my OEM 15" steels on with stock 195/55's for winter use, I run 34 PSI cold even though 32 PSI cold is specified. Again, the slightly higher pressure seems to make for somewhat better handling. Based on my own experience, I would say to experiment with pressures somewhere between 32 and 36 PSI.
I hope this helps although I know choice of tire pressure is a highly personal preference based on your specific driving style.02 DX Millenium Red - The Penultimate Driving Machine

Yeah when i did mine i figured 38 warmed up is a good # for handling as cold its probably around 35-36 depending on outside temp. And i do feel EVERY bump then again i do have a suspension that is moving along nicely as far as parts done! So thus i don't expect nor want a "comfort" ride i want handling!Originally posted by goldstar

I'm also curious as to why you run such high pressure. I would think 44 PSI cold is fairly severely overinflated and would affect handling adversely. Is there a particular reason for your choice?

44psi is retarded, you're going to wear out the center of the tire way too quick IMHO. I keep my ES100's around 32psi all the way around... and I have killer traction._________________________________
