So what is you mileage? I am running 50 psi right not and just came back from a trip and got 43 MPG going 70 MPH. I am wondering how much more would get at 60 psi?

You need to climb down off that high horse. Most of the people on here seem to not have any safety impacts and the savings appear to be very common sense. You are more than entitled to your opinion, just as we are entitled to ours. But it isn't selfish....but maybe you don't really understand the meaning of the word.

Here, how about this... "big dave" is too selfish to admit the insignificant gains he may realize in fuel economy pale in comparison to the danger he places himself and those around him in. ETA: You're only running 50 PSI... I've already said the people running 50 are not likely to have any problem, it's the 15+ psi that worries me...so stop arguing with me.

I run 32 psi, and I just checked the mpg at my last fill-up (40.1 mpg) ...all in town driving.
I bet these guys that run 60 psi don't tell their auto insurance agent, the guy mounting their tires, the cops, the guys at the dealership, etc, but they're sure eager to stand high on the soapbox here ... |

And that would an opinion, not a fact, since I have been able to safely drive on 50psi for a number of months without any safety issues. Just because you can spell a word and look up the words meaning, doesn't mean you know how to use it correctly. Its hard to take someone seriously when they mangle the English language!

80psi. And the money I've saved on gasoline has made me rich beyond belief.

i seriously get a kick reading about all the bitching about running higher PSI
i really don't care if you "think" its unsafe blah blah blah i have from experience had NO issues running tires up to & well over sidewall limit on many different cars for DD use now the NT01s i run on my track car now are at 32psi & i'll probably drop 'em a little more at the track

I have a strong impression you are embarrassed enough before you ever clear the bathroom in the morning....assuming...and I know its a real stretch....that you actually use the bathroom in the morning! Now go change some tires and keep America rolling!

read my sigline...I keep America shooting now, not to mention the other companies I own. My bathroom is probably bigger than your whole house, and it didn't get that way by overinflating my tires. ;)

How do you like those tires? I was thinking of getting them when its time replace mine but I have to order them online. There aren't any tire stores that sell them here in Indianapolis.
