So I'm giving the PSS a last chance...
Aside from tire rotation (which I'll plan on doing much more frequently), and the alignment I'm having check on Monday, what tire pressure should I be using with this type of tires: 205/45/17 Michelin PSS to reduce inside wear?
41psi or higher?
41 psi is what is recommended in the manual for the R59 S

Just a side note; when I went from 205-45/17 run flats to the Pilot Super Sports, it was recommended then I go to a 215-45/17. Better ride, no down side. So that is what I did. I won't be going back to 205's. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Need new summer tires
TG
on my cms all4, recommended tire pressure is 32 psi for all tires
i borrowed a tire pyrometer from a racer friend and ended up at 42 psi front and 37 psi rear (cold) if you like the rear to be loose, add a couple more psi rear, but wear will suffer some
using 42 and 37, rotating every 4000-5000 miles, with over 15,000 miles on my PSS tires, they are wearing evenly across the tread and all 4 tires are worn the same amount, about 1/2 of usable tread remains
