BF Goodrich G-Force. I really don't know what's the correct tire pressure for this.

Max load is 1047@ 44PSi. so approximately 44PSI cold for the G-Force Sport

I have the same tires and I only put what the sticker on the door of the car says to put in the tires. Shouldnt really matter what tires you have, its should be what the car is designed for.

35psi is a good estimate on where to go.
I actually run 37psi all around during daily driving. i would drop the front to 30 when I go racing

I have the same tires on my car, and they are all set at 35psi cold for daily driving. On the weekends, if I know I'm gonna be doing a lil racing, the fronts are at 20psi.

i don't agree, if your putting way low pro tires on then the pressure isn't going to be the same as the factory tires. same if you put big mud slingers on a truck you would put the pressure recommended by the manufacturer which would normally be lower than stock.
Don't some tires have the recommended pressure on the side of the tire?
