I try not to drive when loaded, but that's another issue.

I run 50psi all around and have no problems with the Agilis' regarding
harsh ride, etc.  I am going to be trading out my old springs for a set
of Steve Schwenk's.  Right now the front end is considerably higher (1
1/2 - 2 inches?) than the rear, and I think that is affecting handling a
bit.

Once I get it leveled out, I may try lower pressure, but for now, if I
run less than 45psi, handling tends to get a bit squirrelly.

At 50psi, the tires are adequate for any load I'm going to carry.
