I read that police site and desided to form my own opinion and take a shot at it..

my tires are in good condition and ive been thinking alot about rolling resistance and some of the techniques used when autocrossing and this mite be the ticket..

I'll rattle off a tanks worth and see if I get numbers and if I can withstand the ride quality of the higher pressure..

60 front 55 rear..

Ive read a few studies and seems the norm tire pressures of 32-35 are pretty much a safe way of getting more comfort and less out of the tires..

I got off the phone from a rep at Toyo that i'm friends with and he said he mite help me out with some tires for a study.. So we'll see, i wont hold my breath..
