it's like a sling shot when getting on the highway or passing other cars!

Drifting
30-32 PSI front
~35 PSI rear.
This is what I am running for comfort pressures.
Correct me if I am wrong? Seems to work well, handles nicely and the bumps are not harsh.
PCM = Vehicle, Setting, Tires, from here you can click comfort pressure.
You will get a tire pressure warning LOW if you exceed about 260 ish KMH. Aka they want the tires are performance or full pressure to be doing high speed travel.

Just know, it may take you 2 years to learn how to use the Radio/Sirius on this car. It is so totally confusing to me/us. I just learned, after 2 years, that only in the LIST mode can I use the actual round button to scroll up and down channels. Life changing learn! I'm so happy I finally figured this out as pressing back and forth channels on the screen wasn't fun (using Sirius). Otherwise, I'm totally in love with my car, can't wait to drive it 3.5 hours to Ocean City MD tomorrow for a fun weekend away. I take it everywhere, to the most dangerous areas in Washington DC, all over the region, I don't care, it's just a car, and 2 years later, no curb rash, it's basically, like new at 10000 miles, perfect. It's so so comfortable, much more comfortable than my wife's new BMW M5 Competition.
Seriously, you are going to be over the moon about your car when you get it.

Regarding tire pressures, even at the comfort pressures, I'd say the car rides a bit stiff even with the softer setting if it has Sport PASM and Cup 2. When I finish the current set of Cup 2, I plan to go back to Goodyears, since Cup 2 isn't a good tire for cold and/or wet conditions.
