Run the same air pressure, around 40 pounds front and rear, rotate every 5000 to 7000 miles and get them balanced, every rotate if they are an aggressive tread or every 15,000 miles for street tires.

No difference on the position of the car, just overr time they wear and become unbalanced.

I always use equal in my tires, you never have to worry about losing wheel weights or going out of balance. Down fall to it is that itll vibrate the first 2-3 miles untill it does its thing.

Just wanted to say thanks to those who chimed in suggesting equal air pressure all around. I felt that my tires were waaaaaay over-inflated when I first got my truck, so I set them to LR specs. Ride felt like garbage after that. Really mushy up front. Pumped them up to 40 all around and everything feels much better.
