I have the 18” double nickels also. With every tire brand I’ve tried I’ve had the best and most uniform tire wear by going to a midpoint between the two factory suggested tire pressures:

my midpoints:
Front : 29 psi
Rear: 31 psi

Otherwise the high published pressure will result in classic signs of overinflation (wear in center of tread). And the low pressure gives accelerated tread wear.

Ah yes, I forgot that we were talking about the X100 rather than the X150, so armrest rather than door.
