What PSI for 2GS's stock 16" tires?

The door (b-pillar) sticker says around 30~32 psi but that seems low to me for the 216/60/16 tires on my 01 GS300

whats the optimal PSI to run for mostly city driving?
im getting terrible mpg lately
only like 15~16mpg in the city
right now the tires are at around 31psi cold
im thinking it needs 34~35?

ive got bridgestone turanza ER30 on the rear and Fuzion HRi on the front

around 32psi is right

you can try 35psi, don't think it will increase the gas mileage dramatically

Mine is about 36psi for both front and rear. gas mileage went up 1mpg in the city and 2mpg on the highway. I didn't really sacrifice much ride comfort.

But that was with the OEM 17s. For the previous 16s I had, 35psi was the highest I went with.
