Default Depending on your local road conditions, anywhere from 34-40 PSI

Here in NJ on our *lovely* roads, I recommend the following pressures -

15" - 34 PSI
16" - 36 PSI
17" - 38 PSI
18" - 40-42 PSI

Running these pressures will make you less likely to bend a rim.

Default Carson you think since I am in Cape May County now 40 all around is the way to go?

I have been running my Dunlap Sport 2000's I just got at 40 and I really like how it's driving. I pretty much go from Cape Gay to Pleasantville via GSP each day and it's damn smooth down here now

Default You should be fine with that.

You're in Cape May now? I used to go to Wildwood every summer with my friends....that ended when they all graduated from college and began real life. I could make it down there in about 2 1/2 hours, maybe less if I press my luck (which I shouldn't)

FYI, I'm exit 148 on the parkway. ;-p

Default If you need a getaway shoot me an email...Yeah I have been moving around the last year just a bit.

I finally found my dream firm I'm in Architecture and will now be responsible for handling 8 and maybe 9 of the major houses in AC and anything architectural that occurs, which includes every time they move a slot machine 2". I am in it for the bars, clubs, restaurants and the remodels of the casino floors. I am trying see if I can get a g2g down here in Cape May at my parents house and will keep you all posted in the NyC/NJ forum.

Default sure try that...you can always up the pressures...

probably the max id go is 40psi...

maybe try 40 psi and 37psi...

higher tire pressure will effect ride quality, so its really a judgment call on your part which pressures you want to use.
