Tire pressure
I noticed when I got my new IS that the steering felt very heavy. I checked the pressure and they are all at 30-32 psi. The sidewall states a maximum pressure of 51. I took mine up to 42 last night but have yet to drive to see if it made any difference.
What are you guys running in yours and is the steering relatively heavy.
Thanks.

It makes ahuge difference. sometimes I like having mine at 38 F and 40 R. for a couple of days and the car feels much better. I go back to normal cause i dont wanna have tire wear too bad

In some of the older posts, I've seen people complain that it just says "low" and doesn't say which tire it is. Just a general message.

I tried that recommendation from day one. After 16k miles, front tires were slightly under-inflated. Rear tires were WAY over-inflated. I've settled on 37F, 34R. I have the REO50's

BTW- had my 10k service today and the dealer apparently puts all 4 tires at 36 psi when they check/top em off on my 350 at least.
(and I still had 9/32nds of tread according to them at just under 10k miles, which suggests my factory tires will last a fairly insane amount of miles)
