[QUOTE="LormaD, post: 29239, member: 11550"] Wow... Quite lively over a tire pressure question. It's an Equinox, a passenger SUV. We're not racing or taking someone to court. LOL. I would go with manufacturer cold PSI. Now, if you think you're going to really improve your mileage, and you don't mind a little more tire harmonics getting into the cabin while you drive... Then you can run a little more tire pressure (3 to 5 psi). I'm on the other side of the spectrum, I like comfort and quiet ride. I leave it at factory recommended tire pressure. If you live in an area of extreme cold during the winter for over a month, you can certainly offset your tire pressure by as much as 10 psi. Tires can run higher pressures. The issue comes up with getting "uneven" tire wear. Overinflation tends wear less on the perimeters of the tire, and decreases traction (smaller contact patch). [/QUOTE]
