Thanks for that info, 2K... I would have thought around 35psi would have been minimum, considering the aspect ratios make the tires little more than rubber "veneers" on the rims . Im gonna try around 32psi and see how it reacts.

Yep... thats what mine says, 36psi ft and rr. Mine is a roadster... I wonder if the hardtop (or a N/A Crossfire) requires a different tire pressure??

I had a '92 convertible 5.0L Mustang years ago, and the convertible car was a few hundred pounds heavier than the hardtop.
Between the framework of the convertible, the mechanism to move it, and the SC in an SRT, I dont doubt that a roadster could be heavier than a hardtop, and maybe need a little more tire pressure.

That Mustangs convertible top was something that DEMANDED a persons attention when putting the top up. It moved slowly for about 80% of its travel when putting the top up, but would snap forward REAL fast when the header got near the windshield. The framework of the top weighed a TON, and could easily break a bone, or even knock a person out if they got hit in the head with the leading edge of it.
