| Air Tires - Find the trade off. More pressure gives you better
mileage but will have the diminishing returns of center tire wear and
handling problems. All cars are different, I run 42psi in the Toyota
and 45 in the Geo with no adverse effects, but 40psi in the Dakota's
tires cause some bad wear. The tire's max inflation is a good place to
start, don't be afraid to go a little over that number too. And take
pressure measurements COLD. Depending on what pressures you drive now:
0-10% gains, little to no $$ on tire wear.
The max tire pressure is just that - the maximum the tire is rated to
run at safely. You normally won't get up this high unless you're
hauling a hefty load. Recommended operating tire pressures are well
below the tire's max and are included in a little booklet that comes
with the truck's manual.
