Question tire pressure for 215/35/R19???

i got some pirelli pzero nero 19s. How much PSI should I be running? I'm currently running 40psi. People have told me 30, 35, 40, and even 43. So what's ideal?

put in what is on the placard sticker in your door jamb. should be around 30-35 psi. the tire sidewall lists its max safe operating pressure. the pressure recommended on the placard should work for most, if not all, tires. if id didnt, it would say, xxpsi for x model tire of x size

You should only put what it recommend by the manufacturer on stock tire sizes, and not on low pro tires. Honda doesn't take into consideration that you will be buying different tire sizes, nor does any other car manufacturer.

If the tire says like 50 psi, I would put in 40. 45 psi is good, but I usually like to go a little under to compensate for more traction, and weather conditions. In hot weather, tire pressure will go up, and in colder conditions, tire pressure will go down.

^^^ so if its really cold out side, put some more presssure, as soon as it starts to warm up put less... usually the harder the ride, the more pressure, and less traction. i would suggest 40 psi just for a all around pressure

From my experince i wouldnt recomend above 40psi even if max = 50psi. When you get to the higher end of the psi it tends to cause the center section of the tread to become somewhat of a knife edge and can cause the car to feel very unstable at higher speeds. You may want to start around 40 and adjust it down until it seems to drive the best. I wouldnt recomend much lower then 32 psi thou.
