Comfortable Riding Shock?

Taking the psi down to 30 psi cold should make wonder. 36 psi cold means something like 39 psi while driving in the sun, on hot asphalt, and with engine heat. That's rather stiff.

Yup, can gain about 2-4psi depending on the cars weight and how it is being used.

Took them down to 30psi made a big difference. Thanks, cv129 for the great advice. Saved me a lot of money on buying new tires or shocks.

Just be mindful in the colder months, the TPMS will trip if they get below 28psi I believe. May have to air them up some. Also, if you get your oil changed somewhere, make sure they know your pressure is 30psi when cold. If not, they
will raise them up with no ill intent. Checking the tire pressure is part of an oil change service.
