'95 Aero: Firestone SZ-50 @ 38-40/37 cold...

This gives me best tire wear, and handling seems tighter, though ride may suffer a bit over the 35/35 factory spec. Understeer should be slightly less with higher pressures in front, though with these tires any loss of traction is an unusual event, even in the wet. I recently set mine at 40/37, but with the very hot weather we've been experiencing lately I'll be backing off the cold front pressure to 38 tomorrow. Ride is a bit too firm.
My philosophy is to start at the factory spec, then increase the pressure 'til the ride is deemed unacceptable, up to the maximum pressure stamped on the tire (usually ~45 psi for the genre of tire found on Aeros).
I have never owned a Z-tire that could even approach the max-pressure spec on the tire without jarring the fillings out of my teeth.
