Yes, I'm just dumb enough to run what the manufacturer says to run - 30 psi when cold.

I've been running 36 front / 33 rear in the PS2s, may go a little higher. The stock Goodyears seemed to like lower pressures, around 28 - 30 PSI.

30 psi cold, front and rear. I check them once a week with a good tire gauge. Leif
