tire pressure on staggerd 18s
Just upgraded to 18"s (8.5 in front and 9.5 rear) with 245/40 & 275/35 tires. Anyone have any suggestions on what tire pressure should be?

Follow the instructions on the sticker. Just because a mechanic filled them to a certain pressure doesn't mean anything. The law of thermodynamics comes into effect with the max rating on the sidewall.
Oh, make sure you have a good accurate gauge as well. Not one of those little pencil/pen type types where it pops out on the bottom.
