[QUOTE="Hooper, post: 4384550, member: 46111"] Right I'm not talking about a huge amount of air. I run about 35 lbs in a tire that the minimum is 32 lbs. I always run in the top range of the tire pressure recommendations on the side of a tire. I also try and look at my tires often after driving for wear and inflation signs. You can look at a tire color after a good drive and see if it is under or over inflated by the shade of the rubber. Outside of tire is dark, it is underinflated, Center of tire is darker, overinflated. Cupping may need shocks or other parts, wear on one side of tire, out of alignment. Sight may be a better indicator than a gauge in most cases. If you can't see a difference, feel can tell you a lot. Rubbing your hand across the tire, can tell you a lot, especially on alignment. Driving thru a dirt lot and looking at a tire will give a guy some indicators also with color change. Certainly a lot of different tires and preferences out there. I have heard them called flintstones also. I like a stiffer tire on my pickup, pretty much all I drive though. If I had a Lincoln or Luxury car, a smooth ride would definitely be the goal. [/QUOTE]
