I'll add a little comment. I work at a Nissan dealership, and all new Nissans now have tire pressure monitoring systems. Being up here at 7200 ft., the air is less dense, and we kept having TPMS lights come on on the (specifically on the Titans). The stock tires have a max pressure on the sidewall of 35psi, and the door jam says something like 32/34 or thereabout. We were told by Nissan to put them to at least 38psi to keep the TPMS light off. Some cars/trucks we put upwards of 40 or 42psi. We've been doing this for a couple of years now, and haven't had any abnormal wear.
One other story, we had someone come in with an older Honda Accord complaining of a roaring noise. They had just had their oil changed at Wal-Mart and they "adjusted" their tire pressures for them with the oil change. They put them to 120psi. Yes, one-hundred and twenty. And we tried 3 different tire gauges to make sure the gauge wasn't off. Crazy stuff.
