When I pulled the ride off the showroom floor, it was stuffed with 45psi. You talkn about bumpy *** ride...lol, especially driving in the streets of Baltimore and DC, both notrious for potholes!

I have no idea why the dealership would have put that much air in the tires. I thought the ride was just going to be like that, but after I gave my pops a ride to show off, he told me I need to let some air out...lol.

After doing that, things have been smooth ever since, well, not as smooth as my 98 Altima, but good enough.

I've been running 35 psi. Seems to give an OK ride in on the highway (my primary driving) and helps a litttle w/ mpg. I also watch the tires for wear pattern and adjust pressure as needed. The recommended pressure WILL give a better ride though.

After the wheel balance, my coupe rides like a rock can.

I check the pressure, and they had it up to 41 psi, them morons..

I reduce it back to 33 psi, and it rides fine now.

Still, the 3.5 rides on the harsher side of most cars that I had owned.
