Re: Tire pressure (for 12Ounce)

All the above should be correct in theory and makes sense as being true. Less tire wear may not be correct as deflection of the tires radius will not be running true and your taking a big chance of say ...hitting a curb etc. and blowing a side wall out as being overly pressurized. The aluminum rims are notorise for being a tougher flat tire repair as sealant has to be used and leaking can occur by slightly dinging the aluminumrim/bead edge. Road noise would be and is, considerably higher and maxing at a recommended MAX pressure without a fully loaded vehicle (camping gear extra occupants etc. ) is a unsafe practice. I keep mine at the maximum rating at all times but watch for tires that came with the Windstar as mine were rated at max. 44lbs. ?? seems awfully high but I keep them at the recommended rating and drive safe!
