40/35psi (front/back). Though anything around 35psi works pretty well - so find out what works for you. If you don't want to do that then 35/35 is a good place to be.

34F/34R PSI ... Just updated from my old 32F/34R settings which suited my drive better.

i run 38 psi front and 35 psi rear. seems to make the car a little stiffer and i feel that the car handles better that way. I can also swing the tail out much easier like this, which I really enjoy. Only drawback is that my rears were torched by 12000 miles.

instead of just throwing out numbers, shouldn't everyone also indicate what their wheel/tire set-up is?

i assume that 32 psi on a 16 wheel/tire combo would behave differently than on an 18 inch wheel/tire set-up.

or am i missing something?

sorry about that. the 38psi front and 35psi rear are with stock wheels and tires. On a side note i recently switched to lm-22 winter tires in stock sizes and on those I am running 32 psi front and 31 psi rear. Any more tire pressure with the winter tires and the car gets twitchy at speeds above 80. I can't wait for spring and a fresh set of so-2's!
