Higher tire pressure=less turning ability??
I deliver pizzas and have take turns at the highest speed possible...so should I still crank up the pressure? I already squeal the tires about once a day while turning.

You will have turning ability, but at higher psi you will have less turning 'traction'. For your case I would use around 30 -32 psi. IMHO.
Cheers!

If you crank the psi in the tires say the tire is cold and you have it at 50psi. If it is 90* outside you might have a "hot" tire pressure of upwards of around 65psi. This is why I NEVER run more than what the sidewall on the tire says. Its stupid to run more for a couple extra pennys when you don't know what could happen to you or others.

i would agree you should just run the pressure at 32psi. The other thing I would mention is you should not be able to reach speeds where traction would be limited on public roads, unless you start doing crazy u-turns. A speeding ticket kills income on any driving job.
