PSI

Ok, so in the past I've always run my car tires at 35 psi. I was looking at the tired that I have on my MINI and it said 44 psi... What do you all run your tires at?

If there's a pressure molded into the tire's sidewall, that's probably a maximum pressure. I usually use 36 PSIG cold on my 205/45-17 Falkens.

Normal driving 38 cold all around, twisties 42 cold, track some combo of 42 to 46 depending upon what Joe's pit crew tells me ;-). They'll go up 2-4lbs hot.

Use your own best judgement...

I go a little lower on the track because of the increased heat, but alway run and set my customers cars to 36. I think anywhere from 34-38 is good depending on what kind of ride you want.
