I always try to keep both vehicles at 40psi when the tires are warm, and 35psi cold.

Going to switch them out over the winter, while the Mistress is parked in her stable
What will the Pirelli's be replaced with?

I really believe that whatever pressure Ford put on the door sticker is the way to go I've followed that for over 45 years although on my 66 ford I can't remember if it was a sticker or in the manual.

This is good advice. The manufacturer knows best.

Well I haven't figured that out yet, but I will be going with a strictly summer tire, and may still be sticking with Pirelli, just not the all season radial PZero Nero. Maybe the the PZero Corsa, or Goodyear Eagle F1. But that won't be until next summer, as this summer is almost over again

I'm hoping to find a set of 19 inch wheels by then, that will suite the Mistress

X2 on that. I think mine says 32. I keep it at around 35 all way round.

Mine says 35....I keep it at 30 all around. 35 seems alot for 35 side wall.

Yeah they are pricey, but imo they are worth it. They should last a good while too if the next few summers are like this one.....I have only logged just over 1200 kms this year, and that was with 650km round trip to visit some family last month.
