Correct tire pressure
Got on 03' with 235/35/19 front & 275/30/19 rear. Does anyone know how much p.s.i. I should be running in each set? Discount tire told me to go by the sticker in the crack of the door. That we be easy enough, but is no sticker.

The sticker is inside the console lid. But you don't have stock tires, so the pressure goes out the window (I think!!). I think the max pressur eof my stockers is 50lbs. But nissan says the cold temp should be 40ish (can't remember). So the hot temp at 40 is like 46 in the Winter and 48 in the Summer. Just for an idea of what you're looking for.

Cold Weather: 35-40psi
Hot Weather: 30-35psi
Remember cold weather reduces your psi (approx. -3~8psi) & hot increases it (approx. +3-8psi) depending on the actual temperature outside so it can vary from place to place (This is prior to actually driving the car. Driving it will increase your psi even more & the rate will depend on type of driving, driving weather, & length of driving).
Hot Weather: 30-35psi

For stock tires, you'll have the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation and then you'll have the pressure on the side of the tire itself. The mid way point between the 2 should give you the best of all worlds.

I got some aftermarket tires on the old maxima... they were rated to 50psi max. Higher than any other tire I'd ever had.
Recommended pressure for that car was 33psi, and one time I set it to like 42psi "just because I could." The traction wasn't bad (pretty sticky tires) but when I took the car in for service the guy almost flipped out.
