Default What are your Tire Pressures set at?

I was just doing a thread on tire pressures because they are key to handling, MPG's, and tread wear. That and I didn't see much in the faq's section. State what your tires max cold PSI is and then what you have yours set at.

I have 285x70x17 Khumo AT's. Max cold PSI is 44. I have my front tires set at 38psi and my rears at 36psi. If I load down the bed or am towing the boat I will add pressure to the rears.

Max on my FCIIs are 50 lbs, unless going off-road I keep 'em at 40 lbs., so I guess that's right at 80%...

Yokohama Parada Spec X (275/55/R20) - Max is 50psi and I keep them right at 40psi so 80% for me.

Keep 42 front/38 rear, empty, on both my 17s (winter) and 20s (summer). A heavy load brings my rear up to 44.

Factory 20" Goodyears on my truck still. I had all 4 at 41psi for a while, but it is so bumpy around here I dropped them down to 38. My wife wasn't mad, but I could tell she didn't like all the jostling around.
