I have a Cousin who used to run 40 psi in his tires on a 1996 Grand AM and he had a blow out one day, which caused some damage to his left front rim and some other damage up front. When the insurance guy check it out, he tested the psi in the other tires and when he found that they were all at 40 psi, the insurance co.(which was All-State), would not pay since he was not following the manufactors psi rating of 32. So he ended having to pay about $1200 out of pocket just because he did not follow the guidelines.
