Default What Tire Pressures for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

For those running Michelin Pilot Sport 4S', what tire pressures do you use? I have 18" rims...
Street?
Autox?

I'm on 19s with the same tires, but I've found 34f/36r to be the best all around pressure.

On 19’s here too. I use the sticker pressures in the door jam for these and for my winter tires, which are on the 18’s.

No complaints. Rears will wear faster than fronts in both configs.

Street car, daily driver, approaching 150k miles now.

Hm, owner's manual says 29/36 for 18". Door jam says 30/37...

I drove it yesterday at 29/36, felt fine, I'll do 30/37.

What do y'all think?

1 psi is going to make zero difference on the street. Just set it at the door sticker pressure.

I use 30 PSI for both f&r due to the Ohlins 17 ckicks from stiff and Tarett Cup Race LCA's. This makes for less severe compression being transmitted through the tire spring rate. I use 255/35/18 f and 275/35/18 r Pilot Sport 4S as my winter tires.
