Goodyear GS D3
What tire pressure do you run. I just had mine put on last week.
Goodyear installer put in 32 PSI.

The spec for the car is 30 psi cold (for any tire). Some experts recommend 30 psi hot.

I would shoot for around 30-31 psi hot.

I started out with 34 cold and eventually settled on 31 cold for a slightly better ride. Having 18's all around the sidewall is kind of small so a small change in pressure is noticeable (at least to me).

Thanks All....
It won't get very warm here now for 6 months or so...
Ugh!!
So maybe I'll bring it down to 30 cold??
Just wondering if it will hurt the overall tire life or not?
Anyone have some significant miles on them with the 30 cold PSI?

I try to make sure my D3s are at 30 psi when the garage temp is about 70F. They are wearing VERY nicely after 10,000 miles or so. (Plenty of thread left)
