31 Psi up front and 30 in rear should be fine for stock OEM rims and tires
in 215-55R16 size.
BTW - how do you like them Falken 512 tires ?
I just got mine delivered today - will have them installed this weekend

yeah, i put 35-36 psi after reading an article on tirerack about pressure, saying that alittle more wouldn't hurt.

"Higher inflated tires cannot isolate road irregularities well causing them to ride harsher. However, higher inflation pressures usually provide an improvement in steering response and cornering stability up to a point."

Are you saying that they don't have them in stock or they don't carry the tires?

they don't have em in stock, even if they're on the website, order them and they'll send you a back order. Call before you place an online order to see if they're in stock. I found a pair for myself at truckxpressions.com for pretty cheap. They honored me at 180 for a pair shipped and they were V rated 512's 225/55/16's. I think i only got them because they're 16's. The 17 inches are probably all gone.
