Honestly the size and brand of tire are minimal factors in determining optimal tire pressures. Rule of thumb is to start with Ford’s recommendation (32-33) and go from there. Going lower is not a good idea as it compromises handling and tire wear. Going a few pounds higher is acceptable. Just don't over do it.

I think cold pressures right now are (according to my Ford Pass)

36 / 37
38 / 38

I'm gonna see if I can bump that front left up a PSI before leaving on my trip this weekend.

In the same boat. I'm starting at 33 and will measure treads over time.

Currently running 285/35/19s, square.

Forget Fordpass. It’s only an approximate. Use a good quality gauge. 36-38 cold is way to high, especially in summer. That will bring you to 40+ hot. If you want to play around with pressures do it while you are local. For you upcoming trip, play it safe and stay within Ford’s recommendation.

When I had the PP2 2019 and the Nitto's, I ran recommended in the front and 28-30 in the back trying for better traction. I helped some, but buying Michelin Pilot Super Sports is what really did it lol.

This 2021 has the Goodyear Eagle F1's, the first buyer bought the 20" wheel package. They seem to be better than the Nitto's, but I still want Michelins. My Ford Pass has recommended at 35, and my fronts are 36 and the rears are 31 currently.

FordPass recommendations should mirror what’s on your door frame. For the street running that much more pressure in the front could really screw up your handing in an emergency.

Note that my current pressures shown are up solely due to the temperature in my garage. Keep that in mind when setting your “cold” pressures.

My Door is 35 psi as well, and my fronts were 36 after a 25 mile drive to work this morning. When cold they are about 34 front and 30 rear. I need to add 1-2 psi rears.

Cold, Id like 35 F, and 32 R to see if the rears grab any better. But to be honest, other than rain the F1's seem to be good tires.

Just got mine (same size) with new wheels from LMR. Each was shipped to me at 32, so that's where I left them. I'll be interested to read what you report.

Yep, sorry my bad. 265/35-20’s are 35 psi.

Id like to go more wider on the rear, but I like the wheels, so I may just go PS4S all around and run the proper pressure. Or Sport Cups.

best traction is a hack saw or nail gun and buying not-shit tires next time.
For some reason the fronts seem to work 'ok', but the rears are a lost cause.
Friends don't let friends buy NT555's period.

Nittos are pretty shitty, I have a pair on my car rn. Tbh i've been trying to hunt down a set of MT Street SS since April and they have been on a national back order. Any recs on any other tire?

This isn't so much about "ZOMG how do I shave off 1/10th of a second from my quarter mile time" but more "What is the tire pressure should be used to drive on the street. That balance of ride comfort and not having them explode" kind of thing.

30-35. pick a number that tickles your funny bone. And the rears being hopeless applies to day to day street driving. Frankly they are worse than useless, they are dangerous.
