I've seen quite a few posts in the "MRC jacking up" thread about airing up the tires to 40psi for storage. This has me questioning my operating philosophy on tire air pressure. I currently run my tires at 43psi, with the thinking that the recommended pressure of 35 or whatever is for a softer ride, but more pressure = better economy, tread wear, etc. Am I wrong? This is a lesson I learned from my father 30 years ago. "Run tires at the highest pressure you can without affecting tread wear..." Admittedly, he was always a truck guy, so there may be a difference there due to loading, towing, etc. Thoughts?
