Read the tire specs

Default well you are right, thats why you should always deflate tires when shipping them...

i'd run around 38 psi, some suggest 42, but if I can save 4 pounds at each tire I might as well!! Less unsprung weight.. right!?! ha yeah sure. People actually ask dumb crap like that.. it is amazing they are still alive and well. Reminds me of the radio skit that was on here a while back. Where the guy lists off all sorts of crap and the girl is like ok yeah I guess we can fix that.. "cigarrette lighter is free, but we had to charge $75 for installation" "how often do you use reverse?" "this type of car uses two transmissions".. anyone know where that skit is located or have a link?

dont confuse the max pressure for seating the tire with the max running pressure
