Tire pressure?

60 psi here And did it all summer too.

I think I scared the Good year tire guy when I had to get one of my tires patched...I even warned him a head of time. He got curious when I asked him to leave the psi of the other tire alone, so he checked one of the good ones and found them to be about 75 when hot.

What you three say held true up through the 1980's, but with the move to steel belted radials and modern materials beginning in the early 1990's everything changed. It is time to update your personal stock of information.

About 9 years ago I had tires over inflated at 50 psi on a car. It was a hot day around 37c and I was on a freeway doing 100km/h I was going around a bend and I heard a loud bang and thud thud thud thud.

I pulled over to the emergency lane very slowly and braked ever so slowly.
When I got out to examine the damage I noticed the tread had popped off my front left tire, some had wrapped around my steering arm and other wheel related stuff.

The rest had been blown apart and was on the freeway. The tire remained inflated but the tread was shredded and gone. I will not over inflate my tires. 40-42 is the maximum in the handbook, that is only recommended for the rear tires under load, that is as far as i will go.

If your suicidal and want to have your tires running between 60-75psi go ahead. Just tell your loved ones that you love them everyday, as it may be the last time you see them.
