for comfort do:

36 psi - front

38 psi - rear

or 38 psi all around


but some will say 40 psi.....I don't like 40 psi because it's way to bumpy

40 all the way around. Dont forget tires lose a bit of pressure every month as the cold weather is around the corner.

i've got 36 psi all around, but i'm the n00b around here so i don't know anything.

besides a bumpier ride is there any drawback to running at 40 psi all around? people say that you're much less likely to bend a rim at a higher pressure, but are you more likely to blow out a tire?
