Under normal conditions the OE pressure, 32 PSI, is perfectly fine. Since you are running an aftermarket set-up you can bump up the PSI some. Personally I still run 32-34 PSI on my 205/50R15's for daily driving. Go 34 PSI and see how you like the feel.

I have a GD and I feel like my tires are more grippy at 35 PSI. The ride is a little bumpier but I barely skid my tires wereas I find that on stock pressure, I occasionally spin out my tires from a dead stop.

A number with no unit generally doesn't tell us anything when it's obviously in a different measurement from the previous posts.

250 what? bananas? Duck eggs?

Banana's LOL! That is some funny poop there.

Probably kPa units 250 would be about 36 psi and 350 would be about 50 psi
