low tires
Hey for some reason my 02 strat coupe 3.0l front tires always look low on air even though i have about 35 psi in those tires. Does anyone else have this problem??? It is only on the front tires but the rear tires look fine

That's normal for a lot of cars. The engine and transmission weigh quite a bit, and will make the tires appear "flatter" than the rear ones, even with the proper pressure.
Some tires do "show" more than others. As long as you've got the proper pressure, I wouldn't worry about it

"Wear in terribly like they r under inflated"...
That changes things a bit. When was the last time you have had an alignment? It might be needed if the wheels aren't level. Causes extra wear. If the alignment is good, going above the "recommended" isn't necessarily bad either, like Venge does, 40psi front (this can also help fuel economy too)
