Default Need to know what PSI to use on 19'' Tires

everyone is telling me to use the psi's listed on the sticker on the car however I do not have this sticker

but my rim/tires are also aftermarket so is it not true that whatever psi listed on the GS300/Aristo

I mean the stock GS are 16'' if not 15'' rims with 235/60 or 70/16 (example)

My aftermarkets are 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear

so what should I be putting my air pressure to ? and what does the sticker say

It's around 30-35. 45 max for stock (on some vehicles), though I'd never do 45. (you should do 30-35)

wait so 35 on stock ?

but like I said I have aftremarket tires with low profile shouldn't I be doing about 38-42 ? on them

What I am asking is lets say the sticker says 32 on a stock car.. but if I have aftermarket rims and tires that are not nearly as close to the stock specs.. I shouldn't put 32 psi correct ? pretty much ignore what the sticker says if my tires are totally different than OEM wheels which is what the sticker's specs are all about

You know that benz and bmw stock 19''s recommend higher psi on rear and less on front

whats why I was gonna put 42 in rear and 38 in front.

I know its a diff car but its still rear wheel and I am sure there is a good reason to have stiffer rears than front

if you already know what your going to use, why are you asking people? seems kinda useless to me.

call your local tire shop, or Kal Tire, and ask them

I was told to use that psi from a place down in West Palm Beach call "Weber Wheel Alignment"..

You can probably find them online with articles and so forth. The've been in business or over 30+years.. Its a group of older gentlemen that actually do the alignment by Hand with no electronic devices.. Been there about 3 times since i had the car.. No issues...

I think 42 front 38 rear is fine... IMO
