I run my continentals at 41 front, 36 rear. That way I get even wear out of them and keep it on the tread, not the sidewall 
They've got about 20k on them so far and It's just about time to replace the front two (yeah, I never rotated them)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. When i put the tires on after winter i will put about 34psi in. The thing is.....when i went to get a tire put on my rim (the first time, when there was a bubble in the sidewall), the guy told me that i probably put too much air in, i told him i had put around 32psi and hes like "yea thats too much, put about 28 in", he was a douche. Old russian guy, started yelling at me when i said "no i definitley didnt put too much air in, and i didnt hit a lot of pot holes", LOL then he gave me some attitude. That was a fun day.
Anyways, about the bent rim, i tried putting it on the front and it shakes kind of bad, i notice everything on my car (how it rides). Plus, if i put that one the front, it could eff up my alignment too.....

Sounds like the guy sold you a bad tire to begin with if there was a bubble in it on the first fill.

nooo, the bubble was in the tire that i bought online. Then i went to a place that had hankook tires, and tried to get my money back because i didnt hit any big pot hole or anything. Then he started acting like a douche, cause i came in there wanting a tire for free. But the hankook website told me to go to a place around me and they might give me a free one, i dont remember. lol, but the dude was a rooster, but the guy who put the tire on was an old dude, and hes the one who told me the rim was bent a little bit, he also showed me. I would go back there to have my tire mounted and balanced just cause that guy actually knows what hes doing. I dont trust places where they hire teenagers.
