stock ss/sc tire pressure?

well i did a search and got a million different answers so i figured i would go ahead and post the question.. i just threw the stock rims and tires back on and need to check the psi, now it says max psi is 50 but i know i shouldnt go that high, so what should i be shooting for? left to my own guess i would say 40psi but i wanted to double check.

Anything over 35 will make the center of your tire wear faster... 32 is best... thats why they pay engineers big $$$$, so they can make stickers with the info on it.... lol...

Don't put too much faith in that sticker. I've seen OEM stickers recommend 28 psi before, which makes the tires wear like crap. Sometimes they have a lower setting to preserve the ride quality......you decide which is more important, ride quality, or performance and tire wear.

32 recommended.. 35 for me because I can't afford new tires every 10,000 miles.
