v6 tire pressures ?
I don't know what pressure I should be at on stock 15" . Can't find the info in my manual and the door stickers all worn away and flaky.
I just checked with a gauge and I am at 26 psi at the moment. It feels quite bouncy the ride and I am wondering if that could be the culprit.
What tire pressures are you running ?

I want to say I was around 30-32 when I had mine for daily driving back when I had it.

Re: v6 tire pressures ?
Here's a quick formula I had found recently you can use for any tire.
Pressure= (Vehicle Weight * 1.1)/(Tire max load * 4) * (Tire Max Pressure)
That 1.1 is in there just as a safety factor by adding 10% weight, should account for typical carrying loads. Useful if you ever switch from the stock size for any reason.
