i do 33 at the front and 30 at the back

Due to me seeing the tyres after 5 months of inflating them- front tyres cracked around center and rears slightly cracked.

36 fronts and 34 on the rears. Like to let the rear tyres move about a bit more on a front wheel drive car. Gives you a little more feel when you lift off. Have the rears to hard and you won't feel it before it breaks away.
