Default What aire pressure should I run?

Bought some new used wheels and tires 16x8 OE chrome 5 spokes,

The tires look good. They are 245 50 16 Hankook Ventus HRIIs. They say max PSI of 44. I read that usually you want to run about 90% of max PSI.

What PSI should I run them at?

Street use. Spirited driving. Stock F41 suspension except for 32mm front and 19 mm rear sway bars with energy suspenson bushings.

Thanks!

Usually a good starting point is what the vehicle manufacturer recomends. Try looking in the drivers door jamb. I think i'm running 30 all the way around or 32ish

I had some yahoos put new tires on a different car. They had 45 psi in them. Felt like I was going to launch off the highway.

I'm running 30 all around, primarily in preparation for warmer weather...colder temps I run 32.
