Well, I kind of avoid that to some degree. When 'driving without brakes' you really increase the space cushion and don't follow as closely. However, on this trip I did have to make one pretty quick slow down (I couldn't see very far after all) and had no problems at all. I honestly can't even remember the last time I had to put on my brakes that hard...

Your concern is valid though MazdaMatt. I had planned on doing some brake testing at various psi with my gtech when I had the chance. Its still not done unfortunately. When I get the chance the forum will see the results.

Max sidewall on these tires is 44 psi. I run 60 psi in all four.
