Tire PSI preference?

[NightmareMoon]

I have CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS06 PLUS.
I think I’ll inflate them to 32psi while it’s still cold out.

Good to know (19" DWS06).

FWIW, I would not run those Continentals at a lower than normal pressure.. The contis sidewalls are usually on the soft side to start with, which gives them good grip in daily driving and wet conditions, but at lower pressures you've got a soft sidewall with even less support from the low air pressure, so the tread would be moving around more than you'd probably like as you change directions. In a straight line you may not notice, but a quick lane change on a colder day and it could get scary.

Anyway, 32 cold pressure should be fine, or a couple lbs higher.

I run 30-32. Best ride and traction. I normally go up in pressure, but not with the Bullitt.

It's been my experience with 49 years of many, many cars that sticker is for comfort, and best wear is slightly over.

I have the staggered setup. The original P-Zeros at 2 psi over door sticker wore the fronts perfectly. The rears wore a little more in the center, so they should have been kept at sticker pressure. I just put DSW06 all around. I'm going to start out with 2 over on the front and 0 or 1 over on the rear.

I run 35/36 now. Ran around 30 on my last set of tires and I’m getting much better wear on the front now. The insides wore badly before while the rest of the tire had tons of tread left. Rears wear about the same so far.
