Default Re: Tire Pressure?

The "consensus" is don't go over the sidewall rating, but you can approach it to improve MPG. If the door panel suggests different Front/Rear PSI, maintain the difference when you run higher PSI overall.

Most of those that run 42/40 (including me) have a sidewall rating of 44 PSI max pressure on their tires.
