Re: Kooky Tire Pressure Question

For all the cars/trucks I have owned, I have never seen the correlation between those labels and what I find to be the balance point between front & rear. The labels usually just state "35F/35R", presumably to just eke the most mileage out at the expense of the tires wear pattern.

I have typically run 31-33 psi in the fronts and 29-32 in the rears (generalizing for all my vehicles). Never had issues with uneven wear unless I was lax about checking them and the temps changed on me.
