32 is the normal PSI. I run 40 during the summer and 32 in the winter. I've seen others put in even higher ~45.

I still have my original good year RS-A tires and 16" wheels. I like to run them at 44 psi. I think maybe 42 is the recommended pressure? but really have no idea. Maybe somebody else knows more on that?

Personally, I don't think there is a good setting for the BadYears as I hated them.That said, check the sticker on the LS door frame ("B" pillar) for recommended pressures, or read the manual.If they are not satisfactory, do a little experimenting to see what works best for you and your driving conditions. I ran mine a little higher than recommended too, but that will help kill the ride... not that they ride well to begin with.(42-44?? Geez, that's excessive unless Auto-Xing.)

38-40 in the summer for the RS-A's. I run my Firestone winter tires at 37.
