Tires
I purchased new tires recently. They are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 The tire tech put 35 PSI in the tires.
Should I put the 30 PSI in these tires

My wear line is usually perfect at 32-35psi, and that’s on a road course with street tires. 35 is probably fine around town. You can put them at 30-32 if you want. I usually keep 32-33 all year round.

If they are the stock tire size, on the factory rims, I would go with 30 PSI as this is what's called for. If you've changed rim and tire size, that may change the recommended PSI.

30 psi cold is what is recommended. I would not be running 35 psi cold in the tires.
