I noticed today that my factory 17" bridgestone tires show max psi of 51 on the sidewall. I checked the pressure in all 4 and it is at 30. Does anyone know the correct pressure I should be running?
**These are the factory Bridgestone tires on OEM 17" 2003 GS430 wheels.
Thanks,

i like 36psi for best handling and wheel protection. any lower and you lose the handling advantage of the low profile and the protection of the extra air in the tire.

I ran 32 psi untill i noticed uneven wear inside/outside on all four tires. Just had an alignment on the car and took it back to check the alignment, and they said running 32 psi on the GS430 is too low and recommended 40 psi. After i boosted up the air, tire wear went away. Funny thing i ran the same rims on my SC400 and had no problems with tire wear, maybe a bigger car had something to do with it. GL
