@houm_wa do you run 42 all around or more at rear?

I've tried different approaches. I used to do like 40 in front and 42'ish in the rear but at the end of the day I can't really feel differences that small. 40 all the way around is just fine. 35 is too....

The on-road handling improved greatly with that change. I need some time to try different pressures. Any recommendations from you more experienced guys are definitely invited.

That is way too high for the TPMS turn-off threshold. My light illuminates below ~36psi, typically run 38 front 42 rear. If you weren't already aware, the light does not immediately turn off when you fill the tires up. The vehicle needs to be driven for something like 15 minutes @ 40mph or higher and then it will register the change and turn the light off again. It could be as low as 5 min but it has been a while since I had issues. Had to do this procedure a few times.
