Anyone with Dunlop SP 5000 tires??

Out of curiousity, what do you Dunlop SP 5000 owners keep your tire pressure at? Max pressure is (i think) 51psi where the stock Michelins are 35psi and I always kept them around 33psi.....

Thanks a ton!

I've got SP 5000s on my '97 Maxima SE and I run them at 33psi front/31psi rear. Since the TL recommends even pressure at all four corners, I would say 33psi would be a fine compromise between comfort, wear and performance.

Thanks for the replies! I am currently running them at 35psi but they seem to "float" around curves, like the tire does not have enough air and leans. Do you think it would be safe to run these tires at about 40psi? I want to firm them up a little bit but don't want to compromise wear time........

Thanks again!
