the pressue I run is about 34psi. Seems to give alot better handling with that.. it's best to check them in the morning before you drive on them.

winter time normally reduces the psi, so I usually check when it starts getting cold, and when it starts to warm up, the psi rises, so I let some out to get it back down to 34psi

32psi cold is a good starting point. Depending on your driving style, you may want to increase front - i.e. aggressive cornering.

Agreed. Increasing the front to rear bias will reduce the inherent FWD understeer tendency. I am thoroughly amused when I see clueless individuals with larger rear tires on a FWD vehicle.

You and me both Sparky57. There are more guys on the road that are more show than go. Take them out to an Autocross and let them learn a few things out on the edge.
