Just curious.....first car I've owned that list different tire pressure for above and below 100mph driving....... 
With saying that, what does everyone run for best tire wear, handling, and comfort. Currently I am running what the label in the door jam list for over 100mph......which is 38psi rear, and 33psi front
Thanks
