Whatever pressure is on the door sill…should be 30 psi cold…the tire manufacturer is irrelevant….you can go up 1 or 2 psi but I leave mine at 30.

I have been running the Michelin AS runflats for a long time.

I have found it helpful to run the rears a couple of psi low, about 28, to mitigate center tread wear. When I first had the problem. I contacted the tire store and Michelin, neither was any help.
