What is highest PSI in tires you have used? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Mazilla,

That article is based on ONE trip at 70 mph using cruise control! Oh yeah, and they were only running 45 psi. Hardly scientific. Apparently, no one was killed, however.

I've been running these pressures for nearly 2 years straight. I know many others have been as well. I know of none who have had any issues outside of a stiffer ride. ALL have gotten uncommonly good tire wear. I can guarantee you this car handles and brakes better at 60 psi.

What exactly are you using as evidence (hopefully some real science here?) to conclude I am a suicidal (and let us not forget potentially homocidal) maniac (Maine-iac?).

If I had found one solitary piece of REAL info that indicated my practice was unsafe I wouldn't even have tried it. Didn't find any. Others who had been running higher pressures for years reported only positives. (Excluding those who died fiery deaths, of course.)

I guess what I'm saying is, at least up to this point, my anecdotal evidence trumps your anecdotal evidence because I know me better than I know you.
