Well, actually it is 28 psi when wifey is in the car, unless you are 
picking up groceries in which case it is 24 psi. For your daily drive to 
work it is 32 psi, unless you just HAVE to show that jerk in the yellow 
Mustang what German iron is like, in which case 40 psi is correct. And 
if you don't like understeer, subtract 2 psi from the REAR tires only 
for all of the above.

Now that's for the summer tires...........
