[QUOTE="graytaz, post: 1447234, member: 7079"] Like others, I experienced cupping on the front tire when using the recommended 36 on my '03. I ended up pushing it to 39 based on others' experience and the cupping predominantly disappeared. On my '08, I run a pound and a half over the recommended 39 on the front and similar on the back and have had my tires run pretty consistently other than one set of Metzler Z8's and the original set of Bridgestone BT021's which had an overly soft side rubber on the front and wore a lot faster than the middle or the rear. Last 3 sets have been a T30 and T30 Evo's and I'm happy with how they've maintained their profile and their longevity, considering I really have to work to find roads with character here in SW Ontario.
