For those of you following my concerns on my '04 545 - what tire pressue would you recommend for optimal cornering abilty (tire tread life aside)?
I have a direct plus one set-up with 19" Nitto 555's w/no spacers.
Thanks for your responses guys!

Nice try....
If you really want to know what is the best psi for your driving habits you have to drive the car yourself. When coming up with the tire psi other things come into play like tires, driving style, and road conditions. Once you figure out what the best psi if for you keep in mind that once the tires cool down the psi will lower slightly as well. I like a slightly under inflated tire for better launching.
