Tire Pressure?

I've got Nitto Extremes, and both my fronts look low. They say max pressure 44 PSI. How much pressure should I put in the fronts?

That would be the MAXIMUM pressure...

not the operating pressure you should use...

folks in here pretty much stick near the factory recommendation and run usually 32-35...regardless of the specific tire...

I know thats the max pressure (44)
But the factory recommendation would be on the OEM Bridgstones. I belive they had a lower max pressure, if I remember correctly.
Ive got 32PSI in the Nittos now, it just looks way too low.

I have been using...

35 with good results...might take a week or two, but try a couple of dsays at each of 32, 35, 37 and see how the handling/ride do for you...I wouldn't go much over 37...
