Replying to: northernfit (Aug 29, 2008 12:52 pm) northernfit, That is a handy link! And it reinforces what many have said on the forum. Proper tire pressure is a balance of tire specs, weight of vehicle, safety and ride. Thanks Kip

Replying to: kipk (Sep 01, 2008 12:47 am) I had been running the tires in my 3/4 ton truck at a lower pressure than recommended to get better traction in the winter. I posed a question to the folks at Consumer Reports and they said told me not to since the vehicle had been tested with 60 psi in the front and 80 psi in the rear. Definitely a conservative approach, but I like to be conservative with my vehicles (and not much else  )

| 09 Fit Sport Auto. 1st trip today, about 180 miles. MPG computer shows 44.6 mpg. I did not top the tank off to check this number with real math. Trip was about 80% highway at 50-60 mph, the rest city. | |
