I keeep mine around 32 psi, I only do local/highway driving though so I'm not sure if you would need a diff pressure for racing. Hope this helps...

Take a look at the side of your tire for the max pressure the recommended here is to keep it @ 4-6 psi below max (when the tires are warm of course). Different tires = different psi mainly due to how low the tires ride.

30 psi for my current setup is way too low and overfilled for my stock ones.

How's the ride comfort with those tires? Is it harsh?

I assume you are talking about me?

Yes it is harsh. Harsher than the stock tires but thats what you get when you combine an SE + low profiles.

If you leave the tire pressure too low eventually you will dent your rim.....

If you want low profs with a smooth suspension you should spring for the AGX shocks.

Fronts will always seem flat. Like I said take a look at the side of your tire take about 4 from that and you should be fine.

Your tires are low profiles and the manual does not apply in this case. Listen to the guy at the tire shop.......
