You guys running 60 psi must have roads from the Kingdom of Heaven or something. No way possible you would survive Michigan roads with that setting.

I was running 44 psi and now I'm at 33 psi. The ride is much more comfortable and
much, much smoother. The bumps are alot less jarring as well.

If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

Wow, with that attitude, you must be the bell of the ball. . . ever try making a point and use arguments or is that beyond your comprehension?

Here's some PHOTO evidence for you smart guy. . .




Better yet, take your car to an autocross and bring some paint with you. Paint a white line across your sidewall and over your tread and drive. Now try adjusting your tire pressure. You'll notice that with higher pressure, less of the white line on the sidewall gets rubbed off. Tire pressure is real, and waving around a BS flag at other people rather than arguing, no wonder you have no idea about it.
