higher tire pressures
I was told that by running higher inflation on my Z's tires (5-7 lbs. under max. recommended inflation specs) it would help with the feathering issues associated with my car. I inflated my tires to 45 lbs. so far so good. Anyone have experience with this? (daily driver, no high speed stuff involved) Thank-you!!

Inflating your tires to 45 psi is foolish. You will wear your tires unevenly ( the center in this case) and possibly dangerously since TCS, VDC, and ABS are untested at this inflation.
You should drop your inflations to specifications ASAP.

I keep mine at 35 psi (cold), check in a.m. before driving because the psi goes up pretty quick as tires warm up and may get like 40psi on a hot day if I check 'em while hot. Checking cold is what I was always told anyway, more consistant.

Yes... That is the correct way to maintain psi. You do not want to go much below the recommended psi; that is why we are advised to check when cold. In very warm weather the psi will creep towards unacceptable, but that is the reason we run summer/performance tires. This tire type handles the extra inflation in warm weather and repetitive track runs. --Spike

Yes. If directional they can be dismounted and remounted on the opposite side of the car, if asymmetrical they can be moved left/right w/out dismounting. Something is better than nothing. Front/rear isn't an option either way.
