as a follow up, please Dan-d-man tell me why a helium balloon will burst
when you release it into the "sky"?....the pressure inside the balloon
decreases the higher it goes..but it still ruptures....or can you not wrap
your brain cell around this either?

No Dan, I am not suicidal. The sidewall on my tires says maximum
inflation 44psi.

I'm not ignoring anything. I have seen tires rated for a maximum of
35psi in the past, but I do not presently have any on any of my
vehicles. Of the 20 tires I presently own, all say 44psi maximum.

I will try running a lower pressure in the front and run a mileage
check and see what the result is. After my recent carb overhaul I am
measuring out at 24.5 miles per gallon. That seems a little low, but
one possible explanation is that the supers weigh more than the
standard if I am not mistaken. I would imagine my mileage will drop
slightly if I run a lower pressure in the front.
