Default tire pressure Q's

For a 92 Hatch, daily driver, running HX's and Yoko's AVS ES100, what tire pressure should i go for optimally?

Recommended ones (from the manual) is 32 psi all around. Max psi is 40 on tires.
I was thinking of trying something around 34-35 psi when cold...


what u all have? What do you'all recommend?

thanks

The front will hook up a little better with lower psi and the rear will squat less on a launch because it will be a little stiffer with the higher psi.

yeah, he was talking daily

the lower you run, the worse your furl economy, and hard cornering will improve to a point, but too low will really screw you

the higher, you get less traction, but better fuel economy
