way too low, wow i bet your mpg is about 5...i had 35 psi but went up to 40 to save on some gas and it drives smoother - less swerving when i hit a rut. factory recommended doesn't go below 30 on most cars.

btw what width are your rims?

I have the 2004 Maxima rims 18" x 7.5" with ventus k104 tires... I never achieve more than 23mpg even though I drive mostly on the the highway.

I run 38 on all my cars, including on the G35s. My fuel millage really dips when it drops below 30. I'd only lower it in the snow or on mud to give more surface area to gain traction.
