Re: Tire Pressure?

Bumping up tire pressure is not a good idea. It can cause excessive tire wear, harsh ride, less control, and a possible blowout. Tires heat up while driving, and pressure increases with heat. So a tire at 40psi cold can exceed 50+psi when hot. Get the lead out of your right shoe, and relax!!
