Tire Air Pressure

I know what the sticker on the car says but for those of you with the 245/45/18 tires, how much air pressure do you actually run in your tires? Do you just run 33 psi like the door says?

You can but I prefer 35 - 36 psi cold air inflation.

I now run 35-36 and it seems to be the best on the highway. 32-33PSI just seems wishy washy. LOL...

I have 16" and I run them at 38 psi hot. I measure when hot after highway driving. For me, this way I know what temp they will be when hot. They come down pretty even and set around 33 psi.
