Default Tire Pressure

Just wondering if anybody upgraded their wheels to 19'' and if you stick to the factory recommended tire pressure of 36 psi or what?

PS4s
Front: 235-35-19
Rear: 265-30-19

THANKS!

I find with lower profile tires you want to increase the tire pressure...for a few different reasons.
I would suggest starting at the factory 36PSI, drive it for a week, then bump it up to 40PSI.
See how it rides for you, and then play with it from there.
Chances are you wont end up back at the 36PSI.
