    lenny,
    My $0.02 and IMHO of course.

    I absolutely agree with Navigator. I would personally recommend to stick with your vehicle manufacturer recommended "psi" if you run stock tires, or tire manufacturer's recommendation for your particular vehicle if you run aftermarket tires with the same or even different size and/or construction than stock. Over inflated tires can dramatically reduce quality and comfort of your ride and such symptoms as bouncing, wandering, excessive sway, too much road noise, can occur. Also over inflation will cause excessive center tread wear, reduces the shock absorbing capabilities and will leading to a harsh ride . Under inflated tires can result in imprecise cornering, reduce ability to support the load/traction, higher running temperatures, irregular tread wear at the edge of the contact patch, fatigue cracking, overstressing and splitting in the sidewall.
    Always watch under inflation and try not to over inflate your tires.
