Call any tire dealer & ask them what pressure to run. I'll bet if you call ten that none will tell you to use the max.

I will continue to run about 45 psi in my tires, If i ran 30 I honestly think my front sidewalls would be rubbing on corners, because theyre pretty pooched out already, but I know thats just the nature of radial tires.

I'm shocked that there are 2 members here running pressures that high. What ever made you guys decide to inflate 10+ pounds over manufactuers recommendation? I wonder how much difference your 60 -0 stopping distance would be with 45 vs 35 psi. Hint hint.
