Tire Pressure

I need to know that the best tire pressure would be for a set of 19s (315-25 rear and 235-25 front). Sorry if this is a repost, but i could not find the search link.

thanks bill

I ran those pressures the other day on the track and the scuffing was perfectly at the edge of the tread, not more, not less. This tells me it was correct.

I ran the same pressure at Sebring and found it to be perfect.
On 18's.

The tires are going to need the pressure. The 19" wheels
are unavoidably going to be harsher on bumps because
they effectively remove one inch of cushioning between
you and the road. If/when you want comfort and
performance, run your stock tires and wheels.

Joe i am running 40 (front) 45 (back) because i was afrid they might dent, i have no problem running with higher pressure. I Know the manule says 36.5 in the front and 41 in the rear so i thought it might need more since there is less tire wall.
