Default How many PSI?

I am running 255/35/18 in the front on 18x8 wheels and 275/35/18 on 18x8 wheels in the rear. How many psi should the 255's be running? 275's?
This is my daily driver so I don't want it too rough. The tires are W and Y rated.

Depends less on size and more on the tire and your driving preference. I typically run most tires between 32 and 38 psi.

If your trying to calculate it based on the OE wheels you will need to know the load index of the 18's. It will say something like 94w after the tire size

You should not be putting a 275/35 on a 18x8... I hope that's a typo. I honestly wouldn't even run a 255/35 on an 18x8 either.. 255/35 recommended width is a 8.5"

I'd do 34-35psi cold, because it will jump about 2-3psi after you start driving
