I am running around 36lbs on all 4 wheels. Has anyone tried increasing them to save gas? What's nominal in the real world driving?

I believe 35 is the correct amount. I ran my 350z a couple psi higher and it ended wearing the middle of the tread more. This time around I've got about 35 psi.

I looked at the sticker today during autocross and thought about my weight and a passenger's weight. 450lbs is nothing if I'm 200lbs. I'm mean it's not like I run around with the car loaded but the average passenger probably weighs around 200 or so. (I'm in the Army so everyone who rides in my car is probably within 20lbs of my weight).

When I was at the track last month I had a good discussion with the Yokohoma rep and for the Advant Sport tires he said for street 35psi all the way around is the way to go. As for tracking, after looking at my tire wear he decided to start my fronts at 33psi and the rear at 34psi. As the day went on we set the front to 32psi and rear at 33psi and the wear looked perfect so that is what I stayed at for the rest of the weekend. I will start with those psi’s this weekend at H2R and see what happens. Hope this helps.
