Ideal tire pressure?
85% of the time I'm driving solo (200 lb driver)
10% of the time I'm driving with 2 kids in the rear seats (200 lb driver + 60 lbs in the rear seats)
5% of the remaining time I'm driving with a 110 lb passenger and maybe 60 lbs in the rear seats.
Assume 0 additional cargo
***I re-adjusted to 38psi front / 40 psi rear based on a preliminary search, but haven't driven the car yet.***
What's my ideal tire pressure with the stock 19" wheels/tires?
51 psi recommended seems waaaay too high. I'd like to get max fuel economy, but don't want the ride to be too harsh.
Any ideas??

51 does seem high.......I usually run mine around 41 front and 38 rear, those are after warming them up, I seem to recall the manual saying the fronts are slightly higher...
I suppose ride on what feels comfortable......somewhere between where you know it's a good ride and the stock recommendation
