    I just bought a brand-new set of BF Goodrich G-Force Sport tires from my 2006 Grand Prix GT. I have a completely stock setup, with factory 17" rims. The tires are P225/55/ZR17. They will be nitrogen filled. I am looking for a confident ride with no sacrifice in handling or tire wear.

    I thought of 32psi?

    why would you ever run them that low? the lowest i ever run is 35. if you want good gas mileage you run more. (like 38-42)
