How much PSI to run!

A little backgroud I have Fikse FM-10's wrapped in Pirelli Asymetricos, however, the manufacturer says that I should inflate to 51 PSI but that sounds REDICULOUS! Also I notice that the exterior of my tires are very used by the previous owner while the contact patch center area has alot of life left....

I am currently running standard tire pressure @ 32PSI but I am wondering for everyday use what kind of PSI I want to be putting in.

Thanks for the help,

Alex

No I am not drunk.....

I was running 27 psi before, I know 18 psi would be super low and 40+psi I would put in one of my tractor tires. I am a kid what can I say, it is time for new tires anyways.

I usually just put 35 psi in all my tires. I don't know what's so complicated about this and why RX7@Rocketship.com is calling you drunk?

32 PSI, just like it says on the doorplate.

The inebriation comment was due to your statement of Pirelli wanting you to run 51 psi....that is the MAX permissible pressure the tire can hold! Holy Toledo!

K, thanks for clearing that up Rynberg.

P.S to Rynberg:

In case we wanted to prevent being scammed is it possible toobtain registration info on a suspicious member?

No, which you want anyone here to be able to get your info? If they are suspicious, don't send them money.
