Default Seems low? Maybe my fat *** car needs high pressures. I was at 37 all around and tires looked flat.

Default Could be. I was told to keep them at the same pressure as the 17's, but

I've added a lb or two on top.

The rationale - and I never thought about it this way - is that a tire that is overpressurized will actually transfer the "jolt" from a bump to the rim, rather than protect the rim as you would expect since it is harder.

Default 55 psi. I simply go by the PSI stated on the tire. The ride seems a tad bumpy tho.

Default LOL. 55 psi on a cockpump would rip it right off (not that I would know of course) : )
