I prefer a few pounds over the door sticker. I think that works out to 35 front, 38 rear. For "spirited" driving, I set them to 37/39. It really helped the fronts stick in the sharp turns with little penalty to the ride. I may go more front pressure since my out side edges are wearing the fastest. I wonder why? Ya think it might be those tire squealing noises I hear????
