What tire pressure do you run?

I tried a search and didn't come up with much of anything.

I'm running 285/40-18 rear and 235-35-17 front. The 52 F1 isn't that heavy. My engine is a 351w V8. New TCI frame with Mustang II rack and pinion.

I plan to use as a daily driver. My tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3.

Looking for some comfort, but mostly long tread life.

Thanks Mark

I did a quick search and here are a couple threads that deal with tire pressure. On my 215/75/R15s I run 32PSI.

32 should be fine. With a tire that wide on the rear you might want to drop it to 30, or possibly even 28. I see a lot of 275 width tires wearing in the center, even when inflated to the manufacturer's recommendations, which is usually 32 to 35.

Thanks.... that's what I was thinking also. I'll just watch if closely and take measurements to determine wear.
