is enough to conclude higher FE. Otherwise, there's just good suggestion. I'm trying to establish the inflation effect on my car with my next experiment; I'm at factory pressure now.
I know the supermiling teams with the homemade cars running with lawn mower engines use bike tires inflated to 100+ psi to make them rock hard.
Does anyone know how the Michelin Energy Tires are different from others?
BTW, someone mentioned bringing an air tank to these tests. All you need is a bike pump. My bicycle tires are inflated to 65 psi. The only difference with the car tires are they're larger so they take more pumps.
