Umm, Black Yaris, what are you trying to show with those 3 links? I don't see what information they contain that you are trying to convey.

One just apes the old adage about following the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation, another says people don't check their tire pressure, and the last doesn't say anything except it provides a shamelss plug for Bridgestone who, of course, would much prefer you run your tires ragged in 20,000 - 30,000 miles rather than 85,000+.

If I missed anything there feel free to correct me.

do you know how to read? those links say use the tire pressure provided by your vehicles manifacture. Many Bridgestone tires are rated well above 80k miles BTW, same goes for Michelin. the one link was from the rubber manifactures accoc of america, mabe you should read into that site a bit and you could learn a thing ot two about tires. I ain't just pulling shit out of my ass I have gone to training coarses from most of the big tire companies, as well counpany training... I would just love for you to pick up a tire guide and read it, so you can learn how dangerous those high pressures realy are.

on a side note, have you ever seen a tire blow up at 60 psi? I have, it ain't pretty, had to rush the kid to the hospitol, and all he was doing was airing up a pass tire over the rec press cause the cust thought it was best, and he was new and did not know any better, and it blew up in his face... kid was fine... but gave us a scare.....
