    Yep, I'm running 38F 37R. The dealer always drops it down to 34/33 when it goes in for anything.. too low for 19's IMO.

    i'd be running at 42F/38R in a 225/35r19 with just 1 or 2 people on board. Your dealer is insane.

    just out of interest, what does it say inside the fuel flap? I'll assume 19" isn't listed but what about for 225/40r18?

    Yeah I find anything below 38 too low. Sticker says 39/39. Most of the time it's just me and the 3 kids. Lots of road work going on around here though so I found 40+ a bit harsh.
