32-34 psi. I run 34 all the way around. Just keep and eye on them and make sure they wear evenly.

I always do a quick alignment on my car with new tires. Probably cost you $75-$100 bucks to have a shop do it for you. Just do it and make sure everything is where it should be... Especially if you're moving up to the 18" wheels.

I have 275/35/18 up front and 295's out back it says max load is 51 psi I'm also curious of what psi to run for best cornering and grip?

Ignore max load... You don't want anywhere near that pressure.

I run the same setup as you, and I run 34psi all the way around. You can run 35/36 up front, but I would go no more than that. Just be sure to check periodically for even tire wear, as well as signs of chopping.

If you've recently upgraded in rim diameter, or any other suspension changes... Now is a good time for an alignment.
