32 PSI for normal street use, as stated on the side of the door jam. If you run 35 that might be ok but you'll probably start noticing that the tire is wearing in the middle and not on the shoulders.

We run 32 psi with the RS2 in those sizes and run 38 front/36 rear at the track.

Thank you for your advice Its for street usage, so I guess I`ll start off with 32psi or so, and then keep an eye on the tires wear and tear..

... it seems to be limited choice of tires in 245/45/16. I was first thinking of Goodyear eagle f1, but it looks like this dimension is out of production..?

I am basicly looking for a tire that handles well when wet. Any expirience out there on some of these tires in wet conditions ?

1.Yokohama v 102
2. Bridgestone S02
3. Michelin sx-mxx3
4. Toyo proxes t1r
5. Hankook ventus prime k105

I have the bridgestone RE750, great in the rain and almost as good as the SO2 on the dry. Reasonably priced and wear well. I have 14k on them now and plenty left. I got 10k out of my SO2's
