38/34 cold in the cool months... I want to be at 41/37 hot no matter the season.
anything below 38 on the fronts hot is asking for a call to tirerack... I've blown 2 fronts and both times it was around 36...

Tire Pressure

After trying a few different combinations, I finally settled on 39/36 for my wagon with a light load.

I suspect San Diego has smoother roads than NYC and the Long Island Expressway... but then you have Newsom Oh wait... we have Cuomo!

Having lived in Northern Virginia for 15 years and having traveled to NYC and Long Island a fair bit for work, I would agree. While not perfect by any means, the roads out here are much better by and large than back east - or anywhere else where there are significant freeze/thaw cycles.

In the winter there used to be frequent flat tires on the Woodrow Wilson bridge between Virginia and Maryland due to the pot holes that would appear overnight. Sometimes you could see down through to the water. This was back in the day of 14 and 15 inch rims . . .

I run 41/33. So far so good.
