i don't know, i put the gauge and it said 31.5 except the 2 rear, one said 33 and the other was like 32.5, also when i turn the car to the left it makes a bad vibration sort of, and makes a noise sounding like its rubbing somthing, i looked around, i can't find anything...

The first 500 or so miles you are wearing off the worst parts of the tire. By 1000 miles you should have a better feel for how the tire will work. For better sponse, run higher in the front. I push my cars pretty hard and usually run 36-38psi in the front tires on FWD cars. Wehn autocrossing, 45-50psi is common.
If nothing helps, I just take it as one more example of not ot buy store brand tires.

I've got 225/50/16 Fulda Extremo tires on my SVT and am very happy with them. They grip like mad. The only thing I'm not to happy with is the sidewall stiffness. They tend to float around a little bit when cornering really hard. I've got about 1500 miles on them

Just a thought: I just got the bridgestone potenza re950 because I'd had enough of the goodyear eagles that came with the car. The difference is like night and day....feels like a different car. Steering response is better, they look good, grip is better and they are quieter. Only downfall is that they ride a little firmer....but it's worth it to me. I'm running 205 60 15 on mine.
