Replying to: yaggarwal (Aug 24, 2009 10:51 am) "For tire pressure, recommended or written on tires is 33 psi. Are yours marked as 39psi or you just inflate then with 39. Is it from your own experiance or their is any logic behind having 39 psi as against 33."   The data plate on the car says 33 psi, not the tire. 39 psi is within the manufacturer's specs.   The higher tire pressure reduces rolling resistance, increasing gas milage.

Replying to: monte8 (Sep 01, 2009 1:53 pm) If you increase tire pressure too much you will adversely affect handling and tire wear. I run at 34 psi all around (2 psi over recommended) to squeeze out a little extra MPG without these drawbacks of over inflating.
#427 of 428 Is 2009 Highlander Hybrid No Good Enough For OffRoad/Winter? by car2009 Oct 16, 2009 (10:20 am)
I have learned that the 2009 Highlander Hybrid has not center differential, and the V6 engine never provides power to the rear wheels, so it's not recommendable for backroads or capable snow vehicle for Montana's tough terrain and harsh winter.   Perform better the 2010 Lexus 450 Hybrid?   Thank you for your kind insights.
