I've got 195/70/14 tires mounted on stock 6" wide rims. Right now they're at whatever PSI the tire shop inflated them to (likel 35-40), but the sidewall says it's rated up to 51. After the initial break-in period (this tank of gas), I'll be pumping them up to 50.

They definitely seem to have more on-center feel, and my gas gauge didn't move a whole lot, but then again, it was clear today and warm this afternoon, and I'm almost running open exhaust right now because a piece of pipe came off during the tire change (the lift popped a weld). I'll be able to focus more on the tire performance when I'm not worried about shattering windows from an exhaust containing just the header and catylitic converter.
