Just had a set of 18" HTR Z 3's installed, what tire pressure should I run? I'm thinking 36psi front and back, too high too low?

36 in back is too low. Factory spec calls for 36 front and 43 in the rear. I was skeptical that 43 in the rear and ended up playing tire pressures for weeks....and eventually "figured" out that 43-44 was best. Factory know best.

What would you guys run on the same tires if they are 19"s? I am really happy so far with them but have only done about 500 miles so far.

For the money, I would run them on everything, even 19's. If I had $1800 to spend on nice 19in rubber, I might get the PS2's, & plan on replacing the rears in a year for another $600. Or just get the Sumi's for $800 & enjoy.

+1. I can't imagine putting in 44 in the rear. With 36-37 in the rear and my rear tires still wear much faster in the center(for Perelli Zero). In the old days most of us agreed that manufacturer's recommendation was way too high.

Ruf recommends 2.1/2.3 front and 2.5/2.7 rear, in English 31/33 front and 36/39 rear or less. I have never seen anyone get even tire wear in the rear with over 40 psi.
