Why is our tire pressure so high?

30 sounds pretty soft for a low-profile tire. That's closer to squishy passenger tire pressure.

I realize 35 sounds about right, probably because that is what nissan says it should be, I was just wondering if anyone knew why or how nissan chose this number, when most other high performance cars with similiar size tires have mush lower recommended pressures. The Dodge Viper's is another, with pressure at 29! I have owned much higher performance cars that this Z and the pressures have never been this high. Besides the fact that I think my car feels like sh-t with this much pressure, and thats why I am going to experiment!
