Re: P255/65R16 tires on 2000 Rodeo - Tire pressure?

You will likely cup the heck our of those $$$ revos @ pressures higher than 30psig. (nice tires by the way!) Manufacturers set the tire press spec (door jamb label) for safety,economy & comfort. I hear you about the MPG thing! My 2002 gets horrible mileage in the winter as well. Low fuel light comes on around 250miles. As the factory tires are aging on my 2002, I've found them to handle & be most comfortable @ 28-29psig.
