What tire Pressure should I have?

[Filip75]

Hey guys,

I have Continental (I believe they're stock tires) 205/50R17

I've got 2 questions:

1. What is the optimal Tire pressure for them?
2. Are these tires any good? Any feedback on longevity of them would be appreciated.

On the tire it just says, that max PSI is 50 (or smth like that). I keep them at 35PSI. Is that too low?

I keep my stock wheels as every day drivers (205/60x15) at 30 psi or thereabouts because my springs are kinda stiff for the street these days.

I'd personally start at 35 or so all around, and just watch the wear. Contis make their living being cheaper versions of Michelins -- they're just fine for the street, no complants. The last set that was on my car last about 35K miles.
