I have 17 inch Falken performance tires on my Max. What PSI should I set them at. They say 44 max on the side. Thanks.

I run 37 front // 33 rear .

Seems to work fine for me. Any higher pressure and the ride is rough as hell.

Yeah, that's about what I set mine for. Different tires, but should be the same results.

I'd say it depends... The higher the pressure the better fuel economy and the lower (to a certain point) the better the traction for acceleration and lateral handling. I'm cheap so I keep em pumped up.

with the plus one or plus two upgrade, you should run several psi higher than the fact. recommended specs. don't run what is on the tire; t hat's only a max rating.

36 to 38 should be fine.

I ran 39 psi on 245/40/17s on the Z
