The tire pressure that's actually written on your tires is not what you
should be running them at. That's the "Maximum Load" rating...not what
they're supposed to be at on a daily basis. I normally run mine at 28-30psi
max and only air them up when I carry a load.

Subject: DML: Bouncing back end?
To all you guys who are recommending dropping the rear tire pressure to
20 or 25, I have a few questions. Is this recommended when hauling
stuff? A lot of times I put 500 - 800 pounds of amps, subwoofers, etc.
back there when heading out to a gig. Peoria is notorius for tight
short merge lanes with bumps at the end. The first time I felt my back
end do that (unloaded) I about wet myself!
Does anybody have any good long-term figures on how the gas mileage
suffers? Also, is this going to wear the tires out any faster? I've
got the front and rear sway bars and the 15x8" rims.
