    What tire pressure is everyone running at on stock Bridgestones??? The panel in the door says 36F, 30R..... First of all, 30 seems low period.. And then why a different pressure front to rear. I realize the fronts heavier due to the motor but 6psi different? Is there a difference from summer to winter? I'm currently running 36,30 but am wondering what everyone else is running....

    Peak grip tire pressure is 42-44 hot. For max performance this is a good place to start with the front tires, and run 4 psi less in the rear. You can take both down to 36 front, 32 rear for more comfort.

    After an extensive test session on the REO70s I can assure you that The Siegel is Correct

    Sounds like 36f, 34r is the winner.... Just have to bump up the rears a few psi to be in spec... Not racing anytime soon so the comforte setting will be fine....
