Good day,
I recently purchased new wheels and tires (17 inch) and I would like to keep these maintained better than my last set of tires (baldy's).
I would like to know the PSI inwhich I should keep my front and back tires.
It seems that when I leave them at OEM PSI they appear very low and under inflated. What PSI do users on here use?
Thanks.

you don't follow the recommendations on the tire.
the numbers for inflation pressure are on the door jamb.
assuming the replacement tire is 17x7.5x225 then its 32 front and 29 rear.
i inflate my aftermarket wheels 18x7.5x235 to 34 front and 32 rear.

yes, you use the factory recommended specs for tires. you can increase or lower it a bit for your own preferences. when i have long highway trips, i'll increase psi 5 psi for better fuel economy, and lower them a few psi for autocross. but on a general basis, you follow the factory recommended spec.

Ok well thank you folks. I will decrease my tires at lunch time.
I guess I though factory specs were just for factory accessories. Perhaps that is why my last tires did not last all that long because they were over-inflated.
Yo Dropzone, what city you stay at?
