I think the tires are rated for 45 psi max. I usually go with 36 up front and 33 in the rear. (this was assuming you have the stock 17" potenzas)

I personally keep btw. 34-35 on all tires (cold) in my Stock Potenza RE92's...

It's a matter of preference (recommended PSI is 33)... Just remember that adding more pressure will make for a harsher ride...

What does the center console tire placard indicate? For my old 16" SE wheels it showed 33 front, 30 rear. What is the recommended pressure from Nissan for the 17's?

38 front 34 rear for me...if I do drive a long way, like 300 - 400 miles, I would let them rest a bit.

Are you talking about the sticker for your car or what PSI you use?

personal pref

I put 36 lbs front and 35 rear a week ago. I drove my wife around today and her comment was "they don't screech anymore". So I'm sticking with that pressure. Anything less and they howl in fast sweepers and hard braking turns.
