Tire pressure after tire swap

i recently replaced the OEM run-flat high-performance summer tires with conti extremecontact dws 06 non-run-flat all-season tires on my 20" wheels. the tires are the exact same size but obviously a different type. my question is, do i keep the same tire pressure recommended on the door sill?

yes, you should by the book


that been said i always go higher with 275/315 combo - I go up to 44psi (a bit better handling and a bit better mpg and no need to pump it up during cold months when in the morning you'll have a good 4-5psi lower readings) but that's just me

The same here. I do 40F / 44R on winter months to avoid the low readings.
