I'd say anywhere between 32-38 psi depending on need. Anyone else agree?

Default I run 34 psi on all 4 corners for normal driving, I increase to 36 up front for spirited driving...

Also, I let my car sit in my garage for at least 24 hours before I do anything with tire pressures. I also use a good quality dial gauge. Don't use those pen gauges they sell at gas stations. I have a small electric air pump I bought at Wal-Mart to fill up the tires as needed.

Yup. Depending on weight, kind of ride / handling you would like. I run 36 all-round

Default id definitely keep 34 as the min, those seem to be real cushy in 16 inchers

32 seems to be getting to a point where ud get more tyre wear, 3 or 4 percent worse fuel comsumption when compared to the higher pressures etc.

Id do that if I were to drive through light snow and bad roads regularly.
