How much air do you put in your tires? If I remembered correctly, the door jam recommended 32psi (correct me if I'm wrong). But the wheels look kind of low on air at 32psi. So I raised it to 35psi.

These are the OEM 17" 235/45-17 tires that we're talking about right?
Seems like many of you are running psi that is much higher than what Lexus recommends. I wonder why Lexus recommended such low pressure? I understand they want to keep the ride as comfy as possible, but I'm sure the owners who opted for these optional 17" wheels know that they will lose some of the comfy ride.

guys he said 17's....the two that replied, if you read their sigs they run 19 & 20's.
I can understand 19's and 20's goin at 40psi, you need to.
I run my L-tuned 17's at between 32-34

No, I meant my 17's. I recently put them back on. This was yesterday at 40psi.
