Curious? Why would you run such high pressures? Have you checked the hot pressures after a spirited drive or DE - they would be over 50psi!!! This is way too high and you are sacrificing huge amounts of grip for what, low rolling resistance and a rock hard ride? Remember, all other things being equal, a lower pressure will result in a larger contact patch.

IIRC the handbook (for 3.2s) recommends something like 29/36psi - and many people think the 36psi (rear) is too high. For 60 profile tyres on 15 inch rims you can certainly run pressures in the high 20s without a problem for everyday driving and whether you go alittle higher or lower is probably down to personal preference.
