Ahh yes...... this is true.
And from that day forward, I now always pressurise my tyres as per the vehicle manufacturer recommendations.

I figured it was something like that. The language on the tire tipped me off, ie 'Max PSI' not 'Recommended PSI' or whatnot. It's not ride I'm so concerned with, as I am tire wear. Too much, and the center wears out. Too little, the sides. I want the right amount so it wears evenly.

44 in front and 35 in back? Are the tires matched? Perhaps only the most worn ones were replaced at some time. I always believe in getting a matched set of tires with equal tread (really helps on slick streets).
