I run @ 34 cold. I've seen them warm to 40 on rare ocation. Does keep the alarm off in really cold weather.

This time of year it is hard to get the pressure right since it is 25° in the morning and up to 55° in the afternoon but I usually try to keep it around 35 in all 4 tires.

I chose 35-38.

I try to keep it @ 35 cold in the mornings. I'd rather run a bit high than a bit low, since higher pressure can improve fuel economy, reduce wear, and reduce the rollover of the front tires is hard corners. When racing, I try to keep the pressures below 42 hot.

just did my tires tonight; used a digital gauge and got them all at 35psi at about 50degrees.

theyll drop from there and when the alarm goes off Ill take note to refill them to 35 again.

If you keep the tires around 35-36 cold, once they heat up, they'll be around 37-38 (or higher). On my original tires, I had this setup, and after about 13K, the rears had worn to the tread bars in the center, thus indicating that the tires were overinflated. I have since lowered it down to about 33 cold.

With aftermarket rims/tires, do you go with the Nissan recommended 35 or go with the tire (50psi max?)
Thanks.

I run mine a little higher than normal, but I'm not running factory tires/wheels either. I'm running 245/35/20 front, 275/30/20 rear. I'm currently running 44psi cold (they are 50psi max).

36 f for less tire feathering.
32 r for better grip.
