Just wondering ... when putting on the new tires, I checked the pressure ... the BFG's have 44PSI (~3bar) on the side wall ... the old ones (that I put in front) don't have anything written on them ...
What do other people run in their tires? (275/40/ZR17)

34 psi for all 4 tires. 44 psi is the max pressure.

What you saw is that maximum pressure. I run my tires with about 2.4 bar front and rear. BTW what tires did you get?

I've always run 30psi on my Hawk and I've never had uneven tire wear. I'd like to know what you think about those tires too.

Running 2.4 bar in my 275/40 17 tires. BTW, these tires have really good dry traction. Wet traction is also pretty good, Michelin Pilot Sports.
