This might because its more of a personal thing (driving style) I normally go 32 psi all round, but I'm sure I'm going to get shot down now for saying that

But does the too higher pressure on rear make them wear out to quick because of over inflation??

37.5/35.5 I ran around this (for some odd reason, must of mullered up somehow) and my Spec C handled like a piece of ****!
Go round a roundabout pressing on and see what happens. Then lower the pressures to 34 fronts and 32 rears (COLD on Newage) and tell me what that is like, under the same scenario. Tell me which tyre pressure setting gets the front washing out more... but I suspect I know what the answer is.

Well said Shaun and I agree, even with my basic driving skills. lol.
I mean, if you have such high pressures and then drive it spirited, they are going to rise as they get hotter anyway. Highest I have ever gone is 34 F and 32 R on my newage.

225/45 ??? Not 40's? Anyway fair play to you if it works. But still seems way too high.

You will find Vredestein recommended pressures are for maximum load. Not something I do anytime normally!
