If I'm not mistaken, tire pressures have been on the door jambs as long as I can remember. Thanks to Ford and Firestone we now have on-board tire pressure monitoring sensors.

Flyin', the tire pressures on the door jamb used to list Normal load and Max load in the USA, on all cars. Due to FMVSS regulations dating back to 2003, that label now displays MAX load only. A lot of the younger folk can't remember that far back!

With the 19" Sport Package, I inflate to the tire pressures in the owner's manual. 36 front/ 33 rear.

245/35 R19 93Y High Performance Tires:
Normal load (F/R psi): 36/33
Max. Load (F/R psi): 41/44

Mine were set at max from the dealer, I lowered to 36/33 (19"), so much of a difference!

Yes, it is a pretty perfect balance between ride/handling at those pressures!
