Default Tire PSI with MT 315s

What is everyone running for PSI in there MT DRs when they're just cruising around? I have MT 315/35/17s and I was thinking of running them at 35 PSI.

Thats way high. They'll wear unevenly and you'll wear the middles out in no time. I think 20-24 cold is pretty common on the street and 16-20 cold at the track...at least thats what I ran other MT's at and my old 315 hoosiers and nittos. BTW, where'd you find a set of the 315 MTs anyway? Everywhere I'd seen was on backorder.

I run my Nitto 315/35's at about 28 or less and I run my MT's (275/50R15) at 20.

I run mine at 24 on the street and 17 at the track. I got a 1.6 60ft from that.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I checked out Mickey Thompsons web site and here is what it says...http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/tech.php?bulletin=s7 Mine say 44 psi max so I run 33 psi in mine and they do great on the street.
