WHAT FACTS? No tire manufacturer will recommend double PSI. No car manufacturer will. There are at least 3 people in this thread alone that have seen increased tire wear with increased PSI.

If a vehicle's tires are overinflated by 6 psi, they could be damaged more easily when encountering potholes or debris in the road, as well as experience irregular tread wear.

But its all a conspiracy huh?? I'll bet you thebarber and supmet work for the big oil companies.

No, I don't think the big oil companies would hire you to represent them and I fail to see anywhere where I stated double psi or conspiracy. You don't seem too hung up on being accurate anyways, so your misquotes come as no surprise.

If you actually did research and tried things out you could find the truth out for yourself. Posting a link from a reseller proves nothing. Believe what you want. I know I believe the over $700 savings in gas costs alone, and improvement in MPG by 15% since I started to slowly test, confirm and then apply the knowledge and techniques appropriate to my driving conditions and car, shared by people such as bailout. I'm also looking forward to seeing how many thousands of km's past mtbf I can go on my tires which show very little wear after 30k of 44-60psi.
