Default Radial Tire Pressures

Most every manufacturer specifies 32 to 35 PSI, and the members are correct in that a pressure below 32 PSI is not recommended. The tire is engineered to do it's best at 32 PSI with no compromise in performance or tread wear. Many manufacturers used to recommend raising the pressure for high speed or high performance driving, and I recall the Dunlop people and Jaguar suggesting higher pressures. But that was yesterday, and tire technology has made quantum leaps since then. If you have handling or braking problems, it is likely that it is not the fault of qualitiy tires, but suspension settings.
