Air pressure on new tires

[southtj]

So I got my new tires a few weeks ago (Goodyear MT/Rs) and I finally get around to checking the air pressure in them. Each tire had 39.5 pounds of pressure. :shock: I know on the sidewall it says max 50lbs but 39.5 still seems high to me. I lowered them all to 32.0 and it rides much better. When I had them installed, I thought, man these new tires ride rough. Just too much air, I guess.

Is that around where most people run theirs or should I go lower?
