I tried searching several treads, but couldn't get the info I need.
I just need to know what PSI should I run in my 215/45/17 Nitto Neo Gen - Load rate is 91. I was told 30- 32psi... is that right?
My Mini has factory Sport suspension.

I just replaced my Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S tires (215/45/17). Great tires, great grip, handling and performance for an all season tire. I got about 25k miles from them. I always ran 35psi on them, but I lately figured out they were wearing more in the center, a sign of over-inflation... I was later told that being a size over the OEM, needed to have less air... they recommended me 2-3psi less. After running just 33psi, the wearing was even and ride was better too. I liked it.
I now have Nitto Neo Gen tires in 215/45/17, a really great looking tire with excellent reviews. This tire has 91 load rating, which is more than the OEM Pirelli R/F which is supposed to give a harsher ride.
After running the Nittos for a couple of days already, I can say grip is awesome, handling is really nice too, but ride compared to the F1s is a bit harsher, I guess due to stiffer sidewall.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

....Funny thing, got a new MINI, just replaced the stock runflats tires and was looking for advise on PSI on new tires; ended up finding my own post about similar situation on previous MINI R53 several years ago...

So new R56 came with stock Run Flat Pirelli 205/45/17 tires were set at 38PSI (hurt my kidneys!!). I just installed new 215/45/17 Bridgestone 970 Pole Position All Season tires. I was thinking on running 35PSI or less, but just wondering if it will hurt the even wearing of the tire.

Advise is appreciated. Thanks!
