What tire pressure do you use?

I am running the stock Mono-block wheels and Hankook tires on my 2002 E55.

What do most people run their tire pressure at?

In the mid 30's for more comfort or the low to mid 40's for performance?

I have started running mid 30's for daily driving. These wide tires tend to wear out in the center, leaving a lot of good tread on the edges. I would raise it if I were to hit the mountains for a sprited drive.

I had been running 37 front and 41 rear, but the ride was a bit harsh compared to the pressures I am now running - 34 front and 36 rear. Car is more comfortable for daily driving on the local roads at the lower tire pressure. It looks like according to the gas cap door, tire pressure can be brought down to the low 30's.

Hi, I was running 40 but am down to 34 as the tyres were wearing excessively in the middle of the tread
