Most of time my driving is local, 205-60/15 I usually run 35-36 in frt and 32 rear. I get better more even tire wear this way. And I usally rotate once to twice a year. Depends on the winter and budget, if I can I like use a seperate winter type tire, then it's more than twice. For my 500 mile trips, two passengers and stuffed with goodies for the grandson 33-34 frt. and 34 rear. Did this just 3 weeks ago because of rough ride from the fronts. Good ole freezing and thawing on interstates. Winter tires at 195-65/14 with a Max of 35.
I'm always experimenting, "H" rated tires the good ones that have Max of 44.,only in the front and only for handling and better turn-in. The 89 Probe works better with 42-44 in the frts. but not the 98 Mystique LS. It also depends on the tire and it's construction. Usually the "H" rated and above that have 44lbs. max will hold their contact patch better.
I tried the factory settings? Still don't understand only 31 on a frt wheel drive. Doesn't do much the ride or the outer edges.
