Default 19" Tire Pressure
What tire pressure should I be running?

Front - Nitto NT555
235/35/19 @ 50psi

Rear - Nankang NS II
265/30/19 @ 40psi

I think 50psi is pushing it, on the sidewall it says 50psi is the MAX. These are the tire pressures the guy put in that mounted them.

Thanks

Yeah. I asked someone and they said I should go with 38, so I think I'm gonna deflate them to that.
