The tire has relatively stiff side walls and at the pressures they suggest, I suspect, very stiff side walls — not your typical drag radial. They are also DOT compliant, which is a nice touch.
I don't see any recommended pressures on the Nitto web site - all I see is maximum tire pressure ratings. Actual pressure should be based upon vehicle weight and contact patch area, so I suspect many Cobras should be running these in the range of +/-25 PSI, perhaps lower. To really fine tune tire pressure, tire temperature readings should probably also be taken and considered.
