Tire pressure?

Also while we are on this note, you have to be careful what you see and here on TV, the net or magazines. For example, I saw some ad on TV last night that said "Men are 4 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women." I bet there are a lot of people that saw that and said "Damn I'm glad I'm a women," or "Damn being a guy is hard." BUT you have to look more into the situation and understand why that is untrue. It should have said "Men get struck by lightning on average 4 times more than women."

You've had bad experiences, but if I was you I'd look deeper into what could have caused your problems, because from my own experience and the experience of plenty of other people over a large number of miles, even going past max sidewall does not cause any problems in the situations like Bailout described.

I don't doubt that you're telling the truth about your own personal experience, but you can't ignore the data gathered by a large membership at CleanMPG for example where no one has had any issues caused from inflating tires to max sidewall or even a little above and the thing is NO ONE paid for this testing. This testing is all done by normal people like you and I and Bailout who have nothing to gain by lying about results. They're only trying to help people be less wasteful of resources and save money with safe practices which are only questioned by the industries which directly benefit from you wasting these same resources.

It's great to have a strong opinion on things, but you can't close the door to so many other peoples experiences or "testing". I'm glad I didn't. I've learned a great deal from Bailout and others like him in the different online communities. To the point where the performance I am getting out of our car is not believed by people who are still pre-believers like I once was.
