Tire pressure?
I just change my old tires for new Michelin Defenders. The tire I replaced them for were Michelin Pilots & I'm sure the Pilots were the OEM tires. The sticker on the drivers door says to set the psi to 33 & I believe the same psi was listed on the sidewall of the Pilots. I bought the new Defenders at Costco & when I drove off the lot & checked the tire pressure using the onboard menu, the pressure on all 4 tires was 38. The sidewall on the Defenders says 44 psi. What does everyone think I should set the tire psi to on these Michelin Defenders? Thanks

I put 35 cold in them even though 33 is stated. I get better gas mileage without sacrificing ride quality.

OP, once you have a few miles on them, please report your impressions of them. I know they have better thread life, but I have read that you give up some handling/noice/whatever to get that.
