19's and wondering what's the best tire pressure

Hey guys, I just got my rims on and am wondering what the optimal tire pressure is for wear?!

I have 19 inch Sterns wrapped in 245/35/19 Cooper Tires. I am "dropped" on Eibachs with Tokico Blues.

I live in the city, so I have been running 37 in the front and 34 in the back. I just put a higher pressure hoping that more air in the tires will better protect it from the streets since there will be less room for flex of the sidewall. At least this is what I like to think in my head...

Anyways, thanks in advance for your help!

Wow, that's pretty high. But if it works for you, then great. Are you getting even tire wear with that?

Once you change the brand or size, it no longer matters what anyone else is running unless they have the exact same size and type of tire.

You have to experiment to find the best pressures.
