___When John arrived at my home, the first thing I did before we even attempted to drive off for some test runs was to modify his Escape HEV a bit. His pressures were 44#’s when he left CO. but were between 34 and 36 when he arrived here? I upped them to 47 front and 46 rear to start. I would drive with 50 #’s all around myself but it was a good tradeof..

just a quickie safety-related. Altitiude Altitude Altitude! Pressure readings are psig...pressure above the ambient. John, pls check your tires back there in the land of low ambient pressure- 46 in IL will be >10psig higher in CO, as you discovered while going downhill on the trip in.
