gtsr515 - I can understand that when driving at or near the limits of a car (and tires) like on a race track, it make sense to have more psi in your tire than usual (but not necessarily for Daily Driving).

I guess my question is: Why do VEHICLE manufacturers put Front and Rear inflation specifications if (as you say) you should pump up the tires to the TIRE Manufacturers Specs. My Ford Explorer has a recommended (from Ford) Front & Rear pressure of 32psi - I can't think of any tire that I could buy that says recommended pressure 32psi on the side of it.

I guess we are just going in cirlces (so to speak!). An intersting discussion noetheless.
