He's not running stock tires. You don't know what they are or the construction so how can you guys recommend a tire pressure. All you know is tire size. and that it's a TL. There's not enough info to respond.

36psi is in the ballpark.
For the TL's stock tires, 32psi is recommended for the 91V rated tires. Stock tires are max rated at 1356lbs @ 44psi.
The Nitto 450's are rated at a max of 1477lbs @ 50psi.
Depending on your driving style, 34-36psi is within reason in my opinion. Just watch your treadwear patterns. If the centers look like they're wearing faster, lower the pressure. If the outer ribs are wearing faster, increase the pressure.
How do you like the Nitto's?

there alright, if i had the extra cash i would have gotten the 555 or 550. i feel as though the car gets a little too slippery on the wet surface but handles well on dry pavement.
i live in seatlle so it's pretty wet most of the time...
i would recommend it to people living in dry climate...

basketballs BOUNCE...tires DON'T BOUNCE, they stay on the ground and roll. So unless you somehow get airborne, you don't need to worry about bouncing down the road like a basketball. The "bobbing" or how much a car "bounces" is mostly part of the suspension tuning/wear of the car, not the tires bouncing up and down off the road.
The only reason the ride quality changes is because the tires are now firmer, transmitting more road irregularities through to the car. but it does not "bounce" like a basketball, it just does not absorb as much irregularities when there is more pressure in it.

Kind in mind that although over-inflated tires will have better turn in responsive (or more responsive to steering change) in the dry, they will get very slippery in the wet.
