Default Baby needed a pair of Winter shoes

I just purchased a used set of Supra TT wheels. They're finished in Gun-metal with brand new Nitto tires. Guy who sold them let them go for $600. Now I can install the LS front brakes I have sitting in my closet collecting dust. I posted to celebrate but I actually have a couple of questions now...

1. What's the recommended psi on 235/45/17 and 255/40/17?

2. This is sort of off topic...but exactly how much difference in HP would I notice if I put a 75 shot of NOS in my SC400?

you will know the PSI once you go buy em.....cuz it says on the side wall........ but I usually run 30-35 lbs psi on my 245/45/17.

Well, I already installed them. The number on the sidewall indicates MAX psi. Something tells me it's a bad idea to keep it at max. Well, anyway, I set them up at 36psi in the front and 38 in the rear.

I believe the recommended tire pressure is located on the sticker inside the driver's side door jamb.
