how much different? the pressure is sensitive with the temperature (ie when is the last time you drive it) I won't worry about it if it is a few psi different
let it seat for 2 days, measure, and let it sit for another 2 days, measure again.

Always check tire pressure Cold.
After rolling just 2miles or so your pressure would be like 2-5LBS more in each tire.
I run like 38LBS up front and 35LBS in the rears COLD on my 18"s

hey Alexulan,
Why would you want less pressure in your rear tires. Isn't your car rear wheel drive? My tires in the back have a higher max load and therefore worst case the front and rear should be equal. Its better if the rear had more air then the front.
