Probably been answered previously, but what is the Nissan recommended tire pressure for a stock '95 Maxima SE (215/60x15)? If anyone is still running stocks what pressure are you using?

TIA,

Something like 32/30.

Nissan has their recommendations on a sticker in the center console or on the driver's door jamb (atleast on '96 and '97's). I think they are a bit conservative, and are for the best overall ride quality. I run 35 in all 4 (Daytona HR4's in 225/55/16). I've noticed this gives the best overall handling (yes, handling in all weather) with a compromise in ride quality (you can feel the bumps a lot more). This is all due to the stiffer side walls from increased pressure (tires max pressure rating is 35 psi). Increased tire pressure was also taught in a police pursuit course I was in. More pressure also decreases the possibility of popping the bead from the rim when you go over curbs. I've also noticed better, more even wear (may just be my tires, could possibly vary by brand), not to mention it's better for fuel economy.

Thanks to both of you. I have a GLE and changed to the SE tire size this time around so I don't have the sticker info for the SE and wanted to know that info. I started out with 32 psi all around and will try 35. I have the Bridgestone Pontenza.
