35 psi is just what they mount them at. I run about 20 in my 35 km2's.

Other than tread wear, the draw back is reduced MPG. If you get the tread wear even you should be good on both counts.

I run 32PSI in my 35's and noticed that the front likes to bounce a lot when I go over bumps. I thought it might be the suspension and have been trying to track it down.

Any one had the same problems with 32PSI??? I am going to try airing down to 27psi and see if that fixes it.

I was running my 35's at 30 PSI and found that the ride was a little bumpy. I dropped it down to 28 PSI and noticed a improvement. I plan on doing the chalk test when the weather clears up to get that sweet spot.

Went down to 28psi and a huge difference! Rides a lot better. Still a little shaky on the bumps but a big improvement.

I dialed in using the chalk test (or grease pencil in my case) and "seat of the pants" comfort test. My Goodyear Kevlar MT/R35s and I like 24-26#. Now also pay attention to people's load range. Mine are C. If you have higher, I'd imagine they will be a rough ride no matter where the pressure is.

Discounttire aired mine up to 40 psi... Said I shouldn't have it lower on the street than that?? Ride seems hard but not unbearable... Thoughts, should I lower it, say 5 psi at a time??
