correct psi

I just got my MCS a couple of days ago so excuse my ignorance, yet what is the correct tire pressure for my mini. The car came equipped with dunlop sport 9000, rim size 17". I looked in the manual, and on the door, yet the tire psi were not tire size specific.

My doorjamb label and manual says 38psi. I run 36psi as I am alone in the car and experience has taught me that performance tires wear more evenly w.2psi less then stated.

i suggest 37-38psi on that tire cause it's got a bad flat spot memory problem.

Keep the pressure high.

I've been running 33-34 on stock runflats for 13K miles. Wear looks even on all 4. Do rotate every 3k miles.
