Thread: Tyre pressure

Opinions please.
I have a Mitsi challenger that is sitting on Maxxis Bravo 751 tyres. They are 255/70/16.
I only just got the vehicle, and to be safe, had one tyre replaced and the workshop did rotation and balance at same time.
The handbook states 26 psi for normal use. the sticker on the door shut says the same.
The guy in the workshop insists they should be run at 36psi or they will wear on shoulders and car will be too soft in the corners.
Car will spend majority of its life on tarseal while I own it, with occasional hunting trips involving gravel etc.
What do you experienced people think ?
