I swapped out my OEM 16's and I now have new Potenza RFT's with 162 wheels.
They are 18's staggered fitment. What is the optimal tire pressure for these tires both front and rears?

Depends on how "Stiff" you want it to ride.--
Mine came from PCD with 36 rear 32 front--
I like it 34 all around.--Good handling plus nice ride.

I see the manufacturer recommendation is 39 rear and 36 fronts, so for now I am going to go with this. The ride isn't bad, and I worry if under inflated I would get outer wear and over inflated I would get center wear, so I will watch closely. Thanks for the reply.
