Bf good rich comp 2 a/s tire pressure

What tire pressure should I have? I had the stock 19 and run 275/40zr20 all 4 tires. Would it still be 36 cold like the stock tires? Have a 14 camaro 2 lt manual. Thank you guys

My previous set of tires only lasted me 2 years… due to the middle getting bald meaning over inflated.

Tire pressures stated in the door are based off of GVW. This weight is set as a fully loaded vehicle with passengers and cargo. So setting your pressures to 36psi like it says in the door will be over inflating your tires, unless you drive it daily fully loaded with passengers and cargo. Set your pressures to 33 and pay attention to how the tires are wearing when you do scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations. If they are wearing around the shoulders and not evenly in the center, increase the cold pressure. If they are wearing only in the middle, lower your cold pressure. You want them to wear evenly across the tread.

I have always used the stated tire pressure of 36 psi, and tire wear has been uniform.

It's important to adjust the tire pressure seasonally, however. Tire pressure goes up approximately 1 psi per 10 degrees F, so if you are at 36 psi in the winter, you need to let some air out in the summer!

I run 36 cold front and back on 275/35/20 and 315/35/20 all year round and the tires wear evenly for me. Conti Extreme Contact DWS06 Sport Plus.

I have the BFG's too. I run the 36 psi cold all around and they wear normally.

Not very good unless their hot. After I do about 3 pulls they tend to hook ok.
