Default Tire pressure for the GS350

With my Camry the dealer has the air pressure at 32PSI. When I add more air to all 4 tires (35PSI) I get about 3 more miles to the gallon. It may not seem like much but with a 15 G fuel tank that's 45 more miles. (It can add up fast)

I'm just wondering where the air pressure for my Lexus tires (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S) should be or should I say what is a safe tire pressure and that will not cause uneven ware?

Tire pressures are on the sides of the tires.I always keep mine at the maximum pressure(cold). You are correct on the better mpg figures.On a 600 mile trip from Canada,I averaged 34 mpg cruising at 70.

Hi everyone, can anyone help with some information on what air pressure to run in my 20”s – 245/35 and 275/30 Nitto’s. Thanks.

thats bad practice to put it to the MAX inflation listed on the side of the tire. Look at the sticker inside the door to find tire inflation pressures.

Some good info. here from the tire experts at Tire Rack:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tiretech.jsp

I keep mine about 10% under max. cold PSI and get pretty decent wear w/o too harsh a ride. I also second AlBoston's rec. of going by the guide inside the door if you have OEM size tires & wheels.... unless you have a specific reason to go up or down in pressure (towing, loads, etc.).
