I run them all at 50 right now... Once I get lighter rims and put my tires on them, and get heavy duty valve stems, 60-65 sounds better.

Keep in mind, I'm running LRC LT tires on my truck.

On the wife's Saturn, I run the tires at ~40PSI. They're "rated" for 35, I think.

I honestly believe the higher inflation pressure is the only reason I haven't had to change the front two, yet. They've still got about 2/32 on them, and the tire size isn't easy to come by used (in decent condition). I'm thinking about dropping her tire size to 185/65R15 instead of the 195/65s she has now, since those are easier to come by.
