Tire Pressure

Just curious what you guys have your tire pressure at? Wondering if you are getting better mpg at a particular pressure.

I've attached the page on tire pressures from the 2007 Coupe Owner's Manual. 17" wheels recommended tire pressure is 30 Lbs. 18" and 19" wheels are both recommended @ 35 Lbs. I have an '03 coupe owner's manual and door placard both read 35 Lbs. (18" wheels). I have Nismo wheels with 245/275s and I run 35 lbs. 45 lbs. is ridiculous

wow.. 45 does seem a little high.. i was running 35 but now run 40 with my Volks. I like having a bit more pressure to help protect the rim.

I'd run 33 to 35 lbs. You'll find the ride a bit more firm and the cornering a bit more flat.
