According to what most believe, I am running my tires with way too much pressure, but I did the research and tested myself and found I get noticibly better mileage with the higher pressure. At 70 psi , I am only 19 psi over what is listed on the sidewall. That is nothing to be worried about at all. Too many have been frightened needlessly from trying something that will absolutely put more life in your tires, give you better mileage and has no downside other than perhaps a slightly harsher ride. Do you see a big safety sticker stating"do not inflate over this pressure or death could be a side effect"? Absolutely not...that is ridiculous.... now if you talk about extreme..... that would be much higher than I have currently tried. There have always been motives and reasons mostly financial why certain "truths" are withheld in everything in life...medicine....and even tire pressure recommendations... The car companies put a certain pressure on the door...that is the absolute lowest pressure you should safely run and all they care about is the smoothest possible ride. The tire pressure listed on the sidewall has a huge safety margin built in, by going 15-20 psi over this....you are nowhere near its limit. Make your own decisions.
