Default Max PSI for stretched tires?

Just wanna know whats the max PSI I can run for my tires for safety purposes. I have 235/35/19 on 9.5 and 255/35/19 on 11, and how often do you guys check your tire pressure for those who drive them daily. Thanks

I'm running anywhere from 35-40 psi on my car. I usually try and check it once a month or before a long drive.

Max psi is stated on the sidewall of any tire. Max wheel width for any tire is available in print several sources. Exceeding max wheel width can cause damage to the tire, possibly leading to damage to the wheel, car, propperty & people!

i drive with 42psi on the front (225/40R18) and 45psi on the rear (255/40R18)
based on my fuelly.com stats, my average mpg in the last 10 fuel ups has been 28MPG.
i check the PSI about once a week since i drive 90miles/day for work (~88% on hwys)
i recently went in for the 30k major service and the tech said my tires were pretty even considering how high i run my PSI's.

ymmv, tho.

235/35 on a 9.5 and 255 on an 11 isn't a lot of stretch at all. I would say you should be good at 40psi. I have 225/35 on a 19x10 and at 40psi I had no issue with unbeading. I check tire pressure weekly just out of habit since my first car
