Why is the factory/manufacturer recommendation for tire pressure so low, anyway? The recommendation for my Yaris is 32 psi, front and rear. Is it because they are trying to strike a balance between ride/handling and fuel economy? One would think that since Americans usually have their tires somewhat underinflated, they should suggest a pressure closer to what's on the sidewall.
