[QUOTE="Afterimage, post: 326527, member: 7676"] Tire rack's explanation of tire contact patch: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/what-is-a-tire-contact-patch[/URL] I usually take manufacturers recommendation and bump it up 1 or 2 psi on the front and keep recommendation on the back or drop it a psi or two. On the Corvette I was running 31F 30R on the RF tires I had but now running the Xtreme Contact 02's I do 32F 30R. On my daily on the stock wheel/tire setup 205/60/16 on 16x6.5" wheel I do 34F 30R but on my summer setup 245/45/17 17x9" wheel I do 32F 28R. Have never had any weird abnormal tire wear on both sets tire wear is normal or not even noticeable. My alignment is also dialed in properly but with some - camber (-1.1' front).
