I just got my 18" chrome bullits and the tires that came on them (245/40/18). My question is what pressure are you guys with 18"s running your tires at? The tires say max pressure 50psi. That seems awfully high to me.

just run stock tire pressure which i believe is 32psi. dont go any lower then that or no higher then 35 psi, any higher and your gonna eventually notice the tire's wearing funny.
and i dont thin your gonna want to buy 18's all the time

all that number on the sidewall means is the maximum pressure that tire can be run at. it does not mean thats what you should run the tire at. i agree with blackstallion that it should be run between 32 and 35psi.
