Ive had 8 or so sets over the years. I find 22psi for daily driving, and 18 at the track. I usually get 10-13k from a set. Im on the highway a lot. But, Im at the track weekly and do a pretty good burn out before each pass.Any higher, and they wear the center out too fast. Hope this helps!

22psi is what I use on the street as well....Any higher, as Damian said, it will wear the **** out of the middle...

I run my nittos at 19-20 psi all the time. You never know when some car is going to pick on my quiet, stock looking Formula <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I'm also running 22psi on my current set of 275/40/17 Nitto DRs. I have ~15k miles on them, and if it weren't for a bad (or lack of ) alingment they would go another 5k ( one is worn bad real fast after I lowered the car, other still has plenty tread ). If you run the nittos any higher the middle will wear faster.
