What tire pressure do you recommend, 06 525 with the stock rubber 225/50R17? Manual under my conditions says 26 front, 36 rear. Seems a bit low up front to me.

Whats the best mix for ride, gas mileage and wear?

Who knows. Check the driver's door. I never air my replacement Dunlops, because I know I'll get a free, new set in 5,000 miles.

Getting a free set is nice. So is good fuel mileage and proper, safe handling, both of which depend on the correct air pressure.

The post was a little joke, Rodney. You know, like "ha, ha."

In order to get a new set, you must first have a defective set i.e., early dunlop runflats, and possibly later models.
