42 psi Summer and Winter...
Longevity, wear, and lower tire resistance! Cheers!

40 psi on all 4, pretty much all the time.

How many psi does it take to make a tire explode? I dont mean running it so it heats up and goes bang. I mean blowing it up like a balloon and POW!

It would take more pressure tan any pump I know of can deliver. Think about when your tire hits a pothole, or even better a pavement drop. The g-force is enough to increase the PSI exponentially and rapidly, but tire blowouts are rare.

However, if you have damage to your tires, especially to the sidewall in the form of heavy curb damage, your tires will be significantly weaker, leaving the possibility of pop while pumping. |

Yeah, I agree with everything the article says. But it does not mention damaged tires. If a tire is already damaged, high PSI will stress those damage points, but you shouldn't be driving around on a damaged on sidewall anyway. But hey, I could be wrong as it is just based on my experience.

Well, if you are heavy in your cornering, you will get heavy sidewall deflection (especially in a 60 series tire), thus wearing out the corners faster. Over-inflation minimizes this and CAN (in some instances) result in more even tire wear.

35 > 36 p.s.i.. Tried higher and it was choppier and felt those lousy roads / streets more and hear more rattles spring up . Few years ago we test drove a new '06 XB and it road like a brick on wheels . Could of used a styrofoam donut . Went back again to check tire pressure of the same XB and they were at 40+ p.s.i.. Let air out of each tire to about 35 p.s.i. and road much better . Ahhhhh relief . All in preference .

Their tires are most likely V, W, Y or Z rated, because they're concerned about high speeds, not long coasting.

^ back in 2002 I used to buy used CHP tires from the CHP training facility in Sacramento. They ran 205/65/R15 V rated pirelli's. It was awesome because they still had half their life on them and ran leas than a 1/4 of the price.

40 PSI at first to save a buck on gas, but I'll lower it to 38 or 36 when I notice the center section of the tread wearing down a little faster than the rest.

When I first got mine from the dealer I noticed the low tire pressure light was on. I pulled over and scanned the owners manual and found out what the low tire pressure light meant as I had no idea at first. Pumped it up to 32 and it has stayed that way ever since. I guess I'll try 35 - 36 for the 15" when I next gas up.
