Question Correct Psi for Dunlop 9000?

I just got a set of dunlop 9000 for my 350z, the guy who sold them to me told me that 35 psi was good enough. However, on the tires, in the rear it says max load 51 psi and in the front it says, max load 49 psi. I am a bit confused. I am trying to get most out of my tires, so I am trying to find the optimal psi for my tires. Does anyone who has dunlop 9000s have a suggestion for cold/hot weather? thanks in advance.

35 psi seems right. But those Dunlops are a crappy tire. I have been through 2 sets on my benz. The sidewall bubbles when you hit a pot hole hard. You would be better off with pirellis pzero with it's better sidewall. You usually run a higher psi with lower profile tires but not 51 psi.

I beg to differ with alddave's opinion of the Dunlop SP9000s. I have them on my "G", and IMO they are a great tire. Handling is fantastic, they ride well, and they don't make a lot of noise. I have been using Dunlops for about 12 years with great success.

Yes, 35 PSI front and rear is correct.

Yes I agree with lowrider , they have been a very good tire to run on , low road noise , no problems at all and the max you see on the tires only are for max pressure for carrying a load , I run mine at 36psi
