Need Help with New Tires

Ok I got new set of tire's put on my car today. They are Nitto 555's (the street tire not the drag radial) and they handle like crap compared to my Goodyears I had on it. They are a great tire if your going in a straight line, and they hook danm good, but they suck in the turns. I was wondering what PSI I should be running in them? I had 30psi in them and it was real bad now I have 36psi and there better but not great. The tires are 275/40R17's

Read on the side of the tire and the manufacturer's suggested PSI will be on there. I think its either 35 or 44. Check to be sure. I hope this helps.

It's probably best to run them at around 35 or 36. If you inflate them much more you might notice that they will wear out in the center.
