Tire Pressure ?

I have a question in regard to those of you using a 19" wheel and tire combo. Do you run a specific amount of air pressure ? If you do, what differences have noticed using heavier versus lighter pressure. Let's say between 30 and 40lbs. I play around with pressure on my car to see if the car feels firmer or smoother. I wanted to know everyones' opinion so I welcome any thoughts.

Tire Pressure

I have 19inch Carrlson 2/5 with Dunlop 9000's. I keep 51 pounds of cold pressure in them - which is recommended by the installers. You don't want the wheels riding too low to the pavment.

I have tried lower pressures and the car handles much better at the max tire pressure.

Markdm3,

Keep them low only if you want to go drag racing. ;) I'd keep them in the mid to high 40's for optimal street driving. What kind of tires are you running by the way?
