Actually correct.
CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE!

My favorite time to drive a car: just after an oil change or just after setting inflation pressures all-around correctly. Car is SO stable at that point, it nearly drives itself. This "effect" is true in my BMW, Mini and Honda, like autopilot. Pressure drifts from this in a week to 10 days, so I check 'em again. Costco makes it stupid simple. With 5K mile OCI's and tire rotations, all my cars max out their tread life even across the tread. At a little over 50% wear, if there is any uneveness in wear from center to side, indicating over or under inflation, I adjust a pound either way to compensate for the remainder of the tread life so wear is even at the end. Currently running Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on the 335i, Pirelli Cinturato P7 Summer on the Cooper S & Pirelli Cinturato P7C2 Summer on my Accord. Wish I could get the Cinturato C3 and or the Pzero PZ5 in my sizes. Perhaps by the time I'm due for tires I will be able to get those. CHECK YOUR SPARE TIRE INFLATION PREASURE. : ) TIRES: They largely determine the personality of your car!

LoL! Thanks for saying it. I had already been corrected by the internet and auto/tire web pages. I DID mention that many times when I am FULL of Myself about autos (just 50 yrs experience) I wind up getting put in my place. We NEVER really know too much. Always some more to learn. I am open to that. So , THANKS again. I KNOW the burst pressure is way up there. Just did not realize that certain things could actually rise the pressures as much as 3-5 psi. Yup! Put in my place AGAIN. I do not mind. I thank all who share their knowledge. It is a great way to learn. I worked with some older mechanics who COULD not / WOULD not ever admit a mistake or a correction. Those are tough to deal with.
