18" RSA Tire Pressure

For the OEM 18" RSA, what psi are you guys running the tires?
(Assuming you're not going according to the manual)

Open the glove box and look at the attached sticker, you need to follow the manufacters recommend tire PSI because they take into consideration the vehicles weight and handling characteristics.

Based on an earlier thread on this subject, I am running 35 psi both front and back. It is a little higher than Nissan recommends, but should give me slightly better mileage with (IMO) little difference in handling.

I no longer have RSAs but Michelin Pilot Sports. I'm hoping the slightly higher pressure will also give me better wear on these tires than I would get at the lower pressures.

Finally, the correct pressure for an RSA will probably not be the same as for a Pilot Sport.
