I run the comfort tire pressures, 32F,34R IIRC. Very happy with even wear and the handeling is good.

x2 on the comfort pressure. Anything much higher shakes my teeth out on the terrible roads where I live.

Since I don't run on the Autobahn with a fully laden car, I skip the higher settings that are on the door panel, and instead follow the manual's "comfort settings" ~32 front, 35 rear (cold). They generally grow a couple of pounds on the road.

This ^

When I bought it the dealer had it on the max settings and it didn't ride well...since I dropped it... much better!

I suspect they inflate to the high speed/fully laden setting for some combination of overblown liability and fuel economy rating reasons. Pardon the pun. I didn't realize it until I read proofread.. .

I've set mine to comfort too. So it's 31 front and 34 rear. Cold pressures. Rides like a dream. My taller walled 19" Pilot Super Sports help too.

I'm set on comfort as well.

Carving the back road twisties to the one novice track day I did, the comfort setting was great in every occasion with surprisingly very little side wall roll.

+1 on Comfort settings. It amazes me that most cars are set to the low to mid 40s cold from the dealership, even for cars they use on test drives.

There is a HUGE difference between comfort settings and normal/high settings. It's almost like comparing a stock suspension vs. one with lowering springs.

I have a Carrera 4 with 20" Carrera S wheels. I use comfort, part load setting, 30 PSI front, 33 PSI rear. Rides MUCH better.
