Just a reminder that the max recommended on the tyre is a COLD inflation pressure, or at least ambient.

Also the manufacturer will always want the car to ride as smoothly as possible, so they are always using a compromise between comfort (low pressure) and performance/tyre wear etc (higher pressures) - hence what we are finding here that many people run their tyres at higher pressures due to the increase in performance benefits.
Other things to consider, especially if your roads aren't the best is that a higher pressure increases your road noise as well.


Personally I run 32r/37F cold - always maintaining that 5psi difference. Anything more and she roars at me.. I find you've gotta check your pressures all the time. Certainly makes a difference too, the 4wd system really works (or should I say feels) a lot better if you have the pressures nicely balanced.
