air psi??

just got my 205/60 Sumitomo HTR 200


they were $40 a peice, and it came out to be ~$190 to my house. they are cheapy tires, but grip SOOOO nice, especially with my eibach springs and tokico blues (which one has already blown and been replaced after a week of driving)

anyways, to the point. what air psi do yall keep in the tires running this size? im at 32psi as that is what i ran when i had 205/60's on the front, 185/70's on the rear. all on 13" stock gs rims. should i up the psi? or leave it the same. the tire said up to 51psi, but i dont know if i would like to have that much in my tires.

32 psi is a good starting point....drive around and see if it's hard like a go-kart or the back end wants to swap...playing with the air pressures up or down 2 psi by front or back pairs will change the characteristics...just keep playing until you're happy with its' handling...
