recommended pressure for non rft tires

Hello! I had a 2008 4.8 x5 with staggered size 20 rft dunlop style 215 wheel. I just replaced them with continental contact extreme dws non rft and what a difference in ride, much quiter and smoother. Can someone tell me the recommended tire pressure for these tires? For rft pressure is 32 front and 35 rear but too soft for non rft. Thanks

I would have put them at 32 front and rear, unless there was some load in the back or passengers, then 32 front/35 rear.

Actually the best thing to do is email the tire manufacturer with all the specifics of your car and wheels. They designed the tire, so they know the proper psi for different loads.

My previous car, one set of tires had recommended 35psi where another said 42 psi.

There is no catch all psi for the tires unless you have the OE tires to which you can use the figures in the manual.
