I usually keep between 24-26 psi in them. I've found this to be the best compromise between even wear/traction/handling. The higher the psi the better handling I got, but that compromised wear mostly and traction a bit. Lower psi made the wear better and traction slightly better but handling was too sluggish for me. I know when its getting closer to 24 psi because the handling does get a bit more sluggish.

Are ya'll running these pressures on the extreme drag radials or what? Reason I'm asking is I just got them for all 4 corners of my SS. 315/35/17's on the rear and 275/40/17's up front. I immediately noticed that the front end gets very nervous and wants to wander all over the place at rough intersections or other pavement irregularities. On smooth roads all is perfect. The pressure is at 32psi in all 4 tires. This is my first time with Nitto's so I am not sure what if anything I can do to improve this condition. Thanks

What a difference a couple psi can make! Upped the fronts to 39psi and set the rears at 30psi. Major improvement to the handling especially with rough intersections. Still wants to follow the ruts a little but I didn't have to hang on with a death grip like before. With all the salt still on the roads around here it looks like the fronts are still making contact with the road across the entire footprint but the rears are lacking about a 1/2 inch on the ends so I may drop them down a couple more pounds and see what that does. Thanks again for all the input.

Now you may have to adjust the pressure depending on the weather. Just experiement and you'll find the best combo for different weather situations. I know I notice a difference once it gets warmer, particularly above 50-55 so just play around to find the best for that kind of weather.
