Personally, on the stock tires I keep the tire pressure around 33-35 psi @ air temp since the tire temp will increase once you start driving thus the psi will increase. 10deg F = 1psi, this usually results in a 3-4 psi increase on warm days. I've seen the tire pressure go as high as 42 psi while on the highway on very hot days, so come July I will drop the psi to 33.

The rise in temperature is accounted for in the recommended cold inflation PSI.

I was never sure of this. Not bumpy at all but best traction is my concern. Just dont want to go to low and mess up a rim. What do you guys suggest I run.
