There was a discussion in one of these groups within the past year of
the "best" tire pressure and it seems that the max shown on the
sidewall is usually the best regardless of what the manufacturer
happens to recommend. Someone even found some research on track
speeds that showed highly inflated tires handled better then
"manufacturer recommenced" pressure did. "
A thousand wrongs don't make it right. But that doesn't
make me a stickler for vehicle placard pressures. I
typically add 2lbs PSI to the vehicle pressures listed
on the placard, but NEVER the max pressure on the
tire. It's like riding on four rocks or on basketballs.
I also don't like daylight-saving time(which thankfully
ends in two weeks), keep the 'bass' and 'treble'
controls or equalizers centered on my stereos,
and actually adjust my TV's picture settings for
an accurate image.
Life ain't easy in the minority!
