OK.. the dealership always told me to use 32psi on the stock rubber for the GT-S (205-50R16).

Now I got 18's on with yokohama parada spec-2 rubber (225-35R18). What tire pressure should I use for normal everyday driving?

I want it to be the right pressure for the perfect balance of not too much wear on the tire but also keep the pressure high enough that one slight pothole won't dent my rims.

BTW, when I got them the shop had them at 40psi which on the tire says never to inflate above 40psi to seat the tire properly... umm but after I drive them they get hot and go up to 42psi... is that dangerous? I've since then lowered it to 37psi.

What pressure do you think I should use?

Best bet is likely in the 32-35 range. The only reason you should ever have to run max pressures is for something like solo 2 or lapping days.
