what psi do you keep in your oem tires?

[CaboWabo]

I have a 2016 Touring with the stock oem 17" Yokohama Geolandar tires. Just wondering what psi you all keep in your tires? The door jam sticker recommends 34 psi. I want a comfortable ride, but I also want long tire life. Should I go a bit higher than 34?
Also as noted by another user here, be sure to check your spare tire pressure. Mine was way low off the dealer lot (40psi). Your spare should be kept at 60 psi.

I have the 19" and believe the recommended psi is 36. I keep mine at about 38. Ride is just fine and having the higher pressure helps not only with gas mileage, but helps protect against pothole damage. Plus my previous car I kept at around 38 which was even higher than oem ratings stated to keep it help, and when I traded it in with 36000 miles, the tires were still in great shape. I think the higher pressure helped. Maybe.

All Season 19" tires: 36psi
Winter 17" tires 38psi

I have the GT stock 19" tires and I have them between 38-40 psi. I've read on numerous forums that it's good to keep the pressure a few psi higher than the number on the door jam sticker, so that's good enough for me.

I have been running the same 17" stock Geolanders for both my 2013 FWD (30k), and 2015 AWD(26k). My happy zone with them is 36-37psi.

My individual experience, for my climate, has shown that on the 17's, stock size, stock tire, that 32 psi is too soft, 34 psi is comfortable, 36 is stiffer and increased response, 38 is firmer and wears the center tread noticeably more, and 40 psi is beginning to get uncomfortable.

Same here. I keep my 19" road tires at least at 38 psi. From my past experience the factory specs are always too low and eventually will wear both edges of tire thread out first. Our Honda CR-V calls for 26 psi, but after many miles of testing, I eventually settled at 35 psi for even wear.

Yeah make sure to check your spare. The TPMS on CX-5 won't check your spare and will never give you warning even if your spare is way low on pressure.

17" I set overnight cold at 35 psig.

I keep both my 19's stock and 17's winter bliazzaks at 38 psi. The manual actually states to increase the psi to 4psi above the door sticker for winter tires. Stock 17's have a recommendation of 34 psi so +4psi = 38psi for my winter setup. I find the +2psi for the 19's slightly increased mpg and responsiveness.

38 psi on the 19 inch toyos. I was running 40 psi for my winter tires. Since the car is garage kept.

I kept mine between 40-42 psi. I put 65k miles on them and they do still have a small amount of tread left.
