I would guess that you wouldn't need to go above 30 PSI to even out the
tread contact across the width of the tires, but the only way to really
find out in the short term is to use a pyrometer and see what the
temperatures across the tread width look like after driving (down the
highway) for about ten to 15 minutes. Any wear pattern problems due to
improper tire pressure won't show up for thousands of miles.

        I prefer to run with 30 - 32 psi in the tires on all my cars.

I just got a set of 185-70/13's that I put on my Tiger's 5.5 inch rims.
These 
are not any sort of "boy racer" types, just passenger car stuff, which
is
still 
500% better than what was available when the car was new. I am wondering
what 
sort of tire pressures folks with similar setups are running, for normal
street 
use.
