37psi is my sweet spot for high mpg's and a comfortable ride.

40psi I seem to like better. That lumping is gone at 30mph. Really enjoy these tires. I really do believe I got a great buy. Flooded roads weren't a issue for them. Didn't even feel like they were loosing any traction.

Mine too. Came that way when I bought used. I might clean them out and add good-old-fashioned compressed air. I'm not running 200 degree tire temps, and it's a bitch trying to find someone with nitrogen that's willing to check and adjust your pressures.

I run 40 in the frt and 35 in the rear, found out on the highway that at 40 in the rear tends to bounce the back end around

But I don't know where these were done, and have no relationship with them. The tire retailer I use (local "chain") doesn't have nitrogen at the nearest store and the one with it is across town and closed Saturdays.

That tire in that size is a load range E, so 60 psi might be right for that tire. Whats the sidewall say?
