Default Tires

I got a 2018 gs350 f sport with dunlop sp sport max 050 tires. On the tire rack web site say to have the psi at 42 but the door plate say 36 for back and 35 for the front. What do you guys think of this tires. Am thinking of changing to a different brand to see if the car drive better.

You put whatever tire pressure is on the door sill. 42 is high, at that pressure tire has less give and will ride rougher, 7 psi will make enough of a difference to notice.

Sounds like a error on someone's part did you check the owners manual ?

I lasted about 5,000 miles on my Dunlops..... loud and rough! Tried adjusting tire pressure and if it was low it got louder, and if it was high it was rougher; just couldn't find a sweet spot. Ended up with Pirelli P7 Plus and could not be happier 25,000 miles later :-)

They told me nothing was wrong so i took it as that the way the car drives. It bug me for that whole month till i got on this forum and saw what other people did and fix there problem. Am glad to say my car rides the way it should now. 😁
