Tire pressure - 245/35-19s

For those running 245/35-19's, what tire pressure are you running at? I picked up a set of used wheels/tires in that size and the guy had the tires at 37 PSI all around. Should these be fine at 32 or 33 PSI or is it better to run higher pressures with such low profile tires?

Thanks in advance.

I had 245/35r19 and ran them at 30 psi for smoother ride. Higher psi will be a stiffer ride.

Higher PSI will also prevent the tire from "rolling" in high speed turns. I'd go with 36 psi.

with a 35 profile i don't think the tire is going to "roll" that much on the sidewall.

personal preference (ride quality/performance) will dictate how much air you want in the tires.

By rolling, I mean sidewall flexion. I had the sidewalls on my 19" tires crack completely from having low pressure for too long. All 4 tires were toast after 12,000 miles because of this.

BTW- Toyo Proxes FZ4 suck.

if the side wall is like 1 inch tall how much flex u think you'll get?

well never UNDER inflate the tires.

I think we're arguing the same point, but wording it differently. I am saying put as much air in your tires as possible before the ride gets uncomfortable, and of course while being under the max load rating at the same time. 36 psi is where I sit on my 18"s.
