I have an '05 SC. My stocks were a P255/70R17 (44 psi max). Placard, I believe was 35 psi all the way. I ran 40 up front to compensate for wear caused by the 90 degree turns I make daily. This actually seemed to boost my mpg about 1mpg. Since I rarely carry anything, I ran 32 in the rear. Wear and handling were great. Now, I have LT285/70R17 8 plys and run 35 front and rear. I will probably run 30-32 in the rear. Based on my experience, it's okay to run a bit more than the placard says. Just have your tires rotated/inspected often. This way, you can see if your chosen air pressure is causing premature wear.
