what tire pressure on 19"

I have 19" wheels with 235/35 f and 265/30 r and just wondering what tire pressure you're using.

thanks. Purchased mine last winter and just got around to putting them on. Ride was very harsh, check the rear tires and they had around 50 psi.

Yikes. For me 35 seems to provide the best feel. I have tried everything from about 38 down to 32. Good luck finding your sweet spot.

It a matter of what matter most for you. The feel of your suspension or protect your rims? 35 psi is perfect feel for me too on a 30 series tire. If protecting your rims is more importance, you better run at least 45 - max psi on tire. The trick to get use to running high psi on low series tires is only increase the psi 1-2 psi at a time per week. This allow you to get use to the stiff/harse ride a little at a time.

Thanks for the input. I'm going with the 35 all around as well
