Actually if you want to find the right PSI, Get a big chunk of chalk and a flat road. Mark a line all the way across the tire and drive forward or backward till you leave a mark on the pavement. If its darker in the middle you've got to much air, if its darker on the sides there's not enough. You're shooting for a nice consistant line.

Think I'll bring down the psi to 37 front and 35 rear and try that for a
while. What is the lowest psi before it starts to cause damage to the tread
under normal driving?
