Default psi in your tires?

how much air do you guys put in your tires for everday driving? Tried to check out the library for any info, but didnt find anything. I'm currently putting about 34psi...is this right for the rears?

IMO 32-35psi around town seems fine, when I auto-x I'm 32 in rear and 35 in front, cold, then I gotta bleed some air out between runs.

V8-What?

After much experimenting... 35 psi all round. My service techs also recommended this pressure.

Curious, please elaborate why...

(btw - my Del Sol manual states 29 cold all around but I usually do 34)

Supposedly because the S2000 tends to incur some wear to the inner edge of the tyres when the wheels are aligned to spec. (So my service techs say.)

I'm sure he means cold since hot tires give you a high reading all of the time. Besides, you are supposed to check your tires cold so you get the best reading.
