Tire Pressure
 

I know today we have this stupid tire pressure monitoring system in the tire of cars today so adjusting the pressure to your liking is kind of hard without seeing the warning sign.

But am i the only one who likes the pressure lower than the manufacturer's recommendation?

If you change the tire pressure, all you need to do is reinitialize the system by following 3 EASY steps...start engine/push the button/start driving. There's nothing hard to it. :)

Why do you like the lower pressure? How low do you go?

maybe 2 or 3 psi lower. I usually find the ride more comfortable.

doesnt the computer has a set pressure that cannot be changed?

No...your model year uses the INDIRECT tire monitoring system. Also, check your owners manual...you should see the same description as above for the Flat Tire Monitor System.

And the information below expands on the info found in the owners manual:

Follow the recommended tire pressure on the sticker for proper tire size. You don't want to wear out your tires prematurely. Underinflated will wear out sides of the contact path. You already have the inner side problem with the camber already. I wouldn't add to it.
I find the recommended pressure comfortable on my 20"
