I recently had a set of 4 yokohama tornante tires put on,,,dealer put 35 psi in tires.. I seem to think they need more air as they have a lot of insecure squirming effect while turning car as in changing lanes when I pass on interstate,,inside door it says 33psi,,I don't like the feel of these tires,,tire guy said these were top of line from Yokohama,,help,,,,

That's max pressure. You've got tall sidewall tires that will flex in a turn. That's what you are feeling. Increasing pressure won't help you. Just slow down a bit or get different size tires.

I've always been happy with Michelin tires.
I found the original tires on mine (bought new) were wearing more on the outer part of the threads then the center.
Long term I found 40PSI is good for even wear for me.
