The best palce to check for the true actual tire pressure is on the tire itself. Since tires come and go and most people never replace woth the same factory tire, the sticker (located on drivers side door piller) can be misleading.

factory tire pressure for my 05 calls for 38 psi front, and 35 rear. i found that if i run 32 front and rear i get a better ride....

Does anyone use 30PSI on their sport wheels(17in aguillas) The cap says 0-100=30Psi and it jumps to 38 above 100mph

I have those same wheels with 225/45-17 Continentals and I run 38psi up front and 36 for the rears. I have always noticed that the fronts really squat more with less psi.

Im glad ya'll said that because 30 just seemed unreasonable. and it also seemed like it help destroy the walls of the tires. just got new goodyears i wanna to see how they hold up cause i never went for that brand before. i saw carbin fibre walls and went for it cause all 4 of the contis had bubbles in them. Ive never had that happen before. worst part is that i had a lot of tread left, so it was like i was throwing away prematurely

If any tire is run for very long on low pressure, the side walls will begin to blister because the plys are starting to leak through the layers and traps air in the outer skin...Good thing you replaced them..they were a blow out waiting to happen
