I don't find the ride at 60 to be appreciably worse than at 44 and the car handles like its on rails. Someone posted a law enforcement article recently about upping pressures for performance. Showed a Ford Ranger on 2 wheels with 100 psi in the tires. Bet that rode stiff-especially when they set her down!

Really? At 65 on a hot day you're more like 70/75...it's a fools game, but feel free to play until it kills you(or somebody else) because it's worth it right? There's not a sane person around who will recommend you run 44 psi tires in the 60/70/80's. Yes, some people push that limit(race drivers) but they are not driving that car 24/7/365 hitting potholes and whatnot.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...that's all I'm saying friend.
