tire pressure

i recently had a death in the family and am headed on a 2k round trip to utah, i am going alone, and wearing the stock advans. i was just curious what neal, or anyone else would recommend running for tire pressure, i usually run 31-32 in fron and 29 in back, but i am 300 + lbs, and wondering since i will be solo, if i should run more in the pasenger side then i do on the drivers side. wide open roads, and the best gas mileage i can. the advans only have 3k on them. thanks nebody for the advice.

Your car weighs over 3200 lbs. you are well under your GVW recomendations for stock wheel pressure. Higher pressure would not hurt your gas mileage. My tires wore out very evenly at stock pressure. BTW I weight 150 and the Recaro's are very snug in the kidney area. You must feel like you are in a vise.

Sorry to hear of your loss I would run the factory recc pressures as a starting point. From there, maybe move up in 3-5 lb increments until you get the right feel. Dont exceed the tires max psi. Have a safe trip!
