As we have heard frequently in the news lately, if you run your tires at any pressure other than that specified by the automobile's manufacturer you might create a safety hazard. Perhaps it is possible to run a "softer" tire at a pressure that will give adequate safety, but I have no idea how to determine this, and I do not even know who to ask. I would be afraid to trust the advice of an anonymous person on the internet. Who should answer Jim's question? If a person claimed to me that they could improve handling by changing my tire parameters, what sort of credentials should he/she present before I listen to him/her? - Mike Substelny VIN 01280, 7 years
