When i put 35 psi in my old truck it drove like a Cadillac but my tires wore and being underpowered it would lug going up hills with a heavy load when i put 40psi it was much better in every way. But the real reason i brought this subject up was to see some peoples beliefs some don't agree with me and some do but how many vehicles are driving on the road with who knows what in their tires. I know my new car dealer puts in the maximum the tires allow and i have to adjust them when i get home.
You can put in how much ever air you like in the tires. There's really no wrong answer as long as you put all tires as the same pressure.
But generally speaking the number on the wall of the tire is the max PSI (or burst limit) will the tire blow out at that psi? I'm not certain (never tried) but they have the numbers their for a reason.
Most Eco modders use very high psi for the roll. Nothing really wrong with it just what are you looking for. I know a few people with Hondas that actually keep them low to improve the ride.
My car on the other hand sails like a boat down the interstate at 2k rpm the ride is to soft for my liking so I raised it. Might raise it even more since front tires seem to be getting uneven wear (not due to over inflation) just the weight of the front end.
