My "Low tire pressure" light came on today so I refilled all 4 tires and decided to go with 40psi in the fronts and 37psi in the rears. The first thing I noticed is that the car "tracks" much better(no "pull" to the left like it was doing previously). Do these psi numbers seem pretty good to you guys? I know the door-jam says to set all 4 tires at 35 psi, but are there any major concerns about going up to 40psi in the front and 37psi in the rear like I did? Anybody have any other recommendations for front and rear cold pressure settings that have worked well for them?

Its too subjective to really suggest anything. If You are running high efficiency tires for example you will run much higher pressures than a set of good year eagles.

The thing to watch out for is irregular wear. I always take a yellow paint marker and put a few lines on each tire when I'm figuring out what pressure to run. You want that line to wear off evenly for regular road driving.

I wouldn't worry tooooo much with those pressures but your tire manufacturer knows better than any of us will. See what their website says.

You'll likely be wearing out the center of the tire much faster than the edges if you overinflate them.

You should be setting tire pressures to the cold pressure listed on the placard in the door jam if you're running stock size tires.

The paint marker thing is genius! I never thought about doing that. Well done sir
