tire pressure

what is up with the tire pressure on the new xB's?

32psi rear and 35psi front cold - is that due to putting the 2.4l engine in that small compartment?

I use 35 front and rear - seems to work a bit better at highway speeds.

that sounds too stiff for me - does not that make for a harder ride?
I wouldn't think you could really feel a 3lb difference that much... The tC, I think, recommends the same air pressure & when I got new tires for the tC I was told to make sure I have that difference even though I'd want more pressure for those tires. (thought I'd throw that out there) ;)

i am pretty particular about tire pressure - aside from getting good wear on your tires, it can really affect the ride quality and handling!

i just wonder why the 35 front, 32 rear set up? my Solara weighed ~50lbs more than the xB, and it's recommended tire pressure was the same front and rear.

i am experimenting right now and i like it a little softer, so i am running 31psi rear and 32psi front to see how it drives - feels good so far!
