No clue, I don't check the pressure

Just wondering...
(I made an error in the brackets, so use the higher number choice as part of your bracket, so if you use 35, select 32-35 not 35-40)

I'm not sure how to answer this poll. You should not have overlapping values on your responses. For example, I use 40 PSI. Does that go into 35-40 or 40-42? Something like:
32-35
36-39
40-43
32-35
36-39
40-43

given that there is a large number of votes in a wide range (35-40) should we create a new one with more precise ranges, such as 35, 36,37, etc?

If you're going to do it again, I might suggest at least attempting to do something tire model specific--maybe say "based on max pressure of x for the Bridgestones and y for the Michelins (or z for whatever replacement tire you may be using), what pressure are you using for your tires?
a) max pressure
b) 1-2 below max pressure
c) 3-4 below max pressure
etc. That would probably give a clearer picture since you shouldn't even inflate the Bridgestones to pressures people are using for the Michelins, so the straight number method would be a little unclear.
What do you think?
Oh--one more complication: lots of people have a difference of about 2psi between front and back.

How about...
What PSI do you use
What PSI do you use
- MFR recommended PSI
- MFR recommended +(1-3) PSI Front and Back
- MFR recommended +(1-3) PSI (less 2 PSI in the rear)
- MFR recommended +(4-6) PSI Front and Back
- MFR recommended +(4-6) PSI (less 2 PSI in the rear)
- etc
