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.

I am starting to think that pushing the 50's level isn't that stupid. With gas going up, the real issue is wear vs cost. I have been driving on 50 psi for over a year on my OEM tires and I still have a lot of tread wear left, get great gas mileage, and the handling is about the same as when I drove my Yaris off the dealer's lot.

I see this as an economic issue not a safety issue. If I can get more mileage and save money at the pump, the cost of new tires will only be more if they offset the fuel costs I don't have to buy.

And since I already have 50k miles on my OEM tires and probably will get another 20k more, I am riding on free tires and if I can save even more on gas by increased tire pressure, its not dumb. Its money smart.
