Larrfry, remeber at the beginning of this thread, we disagreed. Im still gonna run mine at 41 and 41. I dont recommend anyone else to do this unless you have experience in tire testing, and can tell the little tell tales of tire damage before they get serious.

On the other hand, Larrfry's advice on alot of topics like taking pressures and whatnot are spot on. keep up the good work.

i can't beleive this thread i started sooooooooooo long ago is still going on...

 

32 34 35 whatever same thing

 

This is one of those topics that will keep floating back to the top as long as people continue to use the 'SEARCH' feature.

Although it's generally a good thing for certain topics to be periodically revisited, one problem I see for this particular thread is that, due to its length, it's doubtful that new readers will take the time to read the whole thing. And that will miss many/most of the points made early on.

FWIW, I'm still running the same pressures I posted 2 or 3 pages back (yes, I'm trying to get the newbies to this topic to go back and read a little more of this one). Just that now, my basis has about 30,000 more miles and two winters behind it.

As far as how the discussion may proceed from here, it's ?. I haven't seen recent postings from some of the original participants, Larrfry in particular. And I'm only here now courtesy of receiving a notice of recent reply to topic.

DonGfun - That sounds suspiciously like the maximum inflation pressure figure that's molded into the tire sidewall. It, and the associated load that exists in the tire inflation vs load tables, are simply the maximum ratings for the tire. Nowhere will you find that a maximum rated inflation pressure represents any sort of recommended inflation pressure for use other than "not to exceed".

Here's some contact information that's been recently posted on another forum for obtaining load vs inflation data. There is possibly a small fee involved in obtaining the tables.

Thanks for the response
The car handles well.
have used that pressure the hole time
with any lower pressure the tire looks flat in front

 

I have been running 41 on all 4 with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S since purchasing them 4 months ago. They are wearing evenly. Traction is great. The ride is nice and hard.
