I don't care what the techies say. I always have & I always will inflate my tires to the TIRE mfr recommended pressure rather than what is on the doorjam of the vehicle. Think about it. The VX is 10+ years old. Do you really think that Isuzu had a crystal ball back then to KNOW what innovations/improvements would be made to tire technology over the course of the next decade??? Look at all of the variety of tires out there: MT/AT/street, 6/8/10 ply, directional versus not, speed ratings, life ratings, temperature ratings. How can one recommended tire pressure work for all???
That said: it's just a starting point for me. I adjust the tire pressure to maximize life of the tire. Our MPG sux anyway so tire pressure really isn't gonna make that much of a difference. Maybe I'm a numb butt, but I really don't notice any difference in ride quality based on tire pressure anyway (especially with the VX ride quality - or lack thereof). With a 100 mile commute daily, it's all about making the expendables on a vehicle last as long as possible.
IMHO
That's my $.02 ... & I want change.![]()
