Tire pressure, 20" wheels
I've got 20" staggered MRR wheels on my GS. 245/35/20's and 275/30/20's...... does anyone know the exact tire pressure I should have in the tires, front & back? I know being slightly under-inflated provides a softer ride... but this is my daily driver & I take long trips all the time, I'd like them to be fully inflated.
Thanks in advance.

These wheels and tires aren't the stock though. The tire pressure will vary with the different size tires and wheels. The side wall of your tires should say what the max is. I wouldn't go any more then 40 psi as henry said.

technically, sticking with factory spec (32psi) is all you need. but with the much lower profile than stock, and also the fact that most cars here are lowered with camber, i would put in a bit more air to protect the rim, and also to counter the camber wear a little

correct, what's written on the tire is the MAX pressure. you definitely don't want to get there, it's going to be super stiff. most max performance tires, they state at around 51psi max. that's a lot of pressure.

Question guys
I will be going for a trip this weekend. LA-LV, driving in the afternoon with my car packed. Right now I have 40front 36rear (245/30/20.285/25/20). Last night I checked the tire pressure after driving freeway and the front was at 45psi.
Should I lower the front a little for my road trip? to maybe say 38 if that helps at all or keep it at 40? Remember my tire pressure went up to 45 at night during freeway driving with only 2 people in the car.
