Are tire pressures brand dependent?

I was searching around for what tire pressure to run for my 225/40-18 S03s and a tirerack member recommended 33-35psi for BFgoodridges for the same tire size. Anyhow, is that 33-35psi (cold)?

I would say they're tire model dependent. Each tire will be different.

I doubt their's a huge differnce, but each tire will be different.

No, they're not.

They're size/load rating dependent.

Shouldn't you be running 235/40/18?

well, in that case...

225/45/17 have a lower load rating compared to 235/45/17, so to compensate for that, I'd run them at somewhat higher PSI. Gary just mentioned it yesterday:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/75181.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/75181.phtml</a</li></ul>
