Tire pressure question

[wuzzzer]

After installing my 17" summer wheels/tires today, I was thinking about tire pressure. I usually run 32 psi all around. I remember some people have different front/rear pressure. What would be optimum tire pressure levels for this setup:
17x7 wheels with 215/50/VR17 tires (Dunlop)
Thanks!

Mark, there is always some difference depending on types of tires, and there is also going to be influence from any other changes you have made to the suspension. And finally, you need to decide if you want some understeer, to go to neutral, or to generate a bit of oversteer, depending on where you started and what your personal preferences are.

I like as close to neutral as I can get, and with the 17x8 wheels and my Bridgestone 235x45 Potenza 950s, plus the current changes to the suspension, I find I am at neutral at 36 pounds front, 32 rear, cold. However, I have the aluminum sub frame bushings sitting here yet to go in, and when I install them, it could be that I will have to adjust again.

Thanks Stephen. I've found that with my current suspension/tires/pressure/etc that my car handles awesome, but just was curious as to if there's any tweaks that would make it even better.
I'll have to experiment and see what I find.
BTW, I love the feeling of first driving my SHO after putting the summer wheels on. I get used to the soft, squishy rubber and sidewalls of my snow tires, and then all of a sudden it turns into a go-kart! :burn_out:
