    Stretch tires- same PSI or different?

    So I replaced my wheels on my 2013 S7 last year with some 20x10.5. I kept my OEM tires for now just to wear them fully out. This gives me a bit of stretch going on at the moment.

    I am wondering PSI would be recommended, or do I stick with OEM PSI since they are OEM size tires? I have a 5 hour drive tomorrow with the wife and kid and just want to make sure we are all good. Right now I am running 34 PSI, which I thought seemed low, but car has been driving great on them.

    Any thoughts are appreciated. Keep in mind for those that hate the stretch I have the replacement tires that puts me back to a more squared off appearance. Just want to burn though these before swapping.

    34psi is way too low, yes it will probably ride nicely but that's not safe at speed with this heavy of a car. The recommended pressure for my S6 is 46 front 48 rear, there is a reduced load pressure spec, but it is nowhere near that low. Even though a tire probably won't blow at that low of a pressure, its going to wear quickly due to uneven contact. I run at least 42psi due to my low loads and high speeds.
