torque on demand problems

Good idea Gussie!!! I highly recommend using the "Maximum PSI" indicated on the Tire Sidewall Panel as your normal everyday PSI. By using the MAX PSI, it will give you the best MPG, best handling, and longest tire wear. Yes; running Max PSI will also give a bit stiffer ride, but VX's have a normal stiff ride anyways (it just goes with the territory). Try Max PSI (per Tire Sidewall Panel) in your tires, you'll love the difference in feel and response along with savings at the gas pump.

That is absolutely WRONG. The recommended pressure is 29PSI. Tires indicate the MAX that the actual tire can be inflated to. Inflating your tires on the VX to the MAX tire pressure listed on the sidewall is not right at all. This will lead to poor handling, rougher ride and tires wearing fast.

Come on guys, this is basic car knowledge.

I am surprised at how many times I take my VX in for an oil change and they actually inflate the tires to upwards of 40 PSI because of the sidewalls max pressure listing. I never take my VX back to places that do that.

X-2...

This theory(inflation to max pressure) also doesn't address the fact that a lot of folks around here are roll'n larger than stock, off road type tires, that have a larger internal volume, which in fact, will require slightly less pressure to be properly inflated.

Exactly! I dont get why people want to roll on rock tires? I dont understand their logic there at all. Glad you fortified my comment!
