I run 35 when I'm driving around. When I was at the track I tired a couple different pressures.

lower it down to about 30 on the street and see how it does, 35 is too much in my opinion

35? 28-32 is recommended normal OEM. I run 19" wider tires on my 02 Z and if I set them to 28 COLD rear and 30 Fronts COLD, I get best traction and wear on the street.

Tire are 315/25/19 rear and 275/30/19 fronts.
