Default 35psi up front(235/35/19) 40psi in rear(265/30/19) Year round........

The offset is 35mm up front and 40mm in the rear. This setup fits and rides perfectly. Of course the roads in South Florida are pretty good.

Default Can vary somewhat from one tire brand to another, too.

I remember my Avon 500s - were almost worn out in the middle, only slightly at the edges, at the same pressures that gave totally even wear on the Michelins.

Default 235/40/18 and currently 42 front and 38 rear (as Bernie says I'm trying ot get rest of middle tread

wear. The negative camber and my somewhat agro driving style tend to wear out edges b4 middle.

It's a rough ride though at this psi on 18's.

Can't wait to mount my 245/40/18 PS2's!
