OK, I'm at a lose as to what is a "safe" pressure to run tires at. My tires are rated for 32 or 35 PSI, and are the tires that I bought the car with. That is the "maximum" rating on the sidewall. What has been done to determine the "maximum" you can run safely at. I see a lot of guys running 50 PSI or even Big Dave at 100 PSI without a problem. What can I do to figure out what the "maximum" PSI is for my tires?

I do plan on getting new tires on my car, but I cannot push myself to throw out good tires that have at least another year of tread left on them. I'm easing into the Eccomodder car as it makes monitary sense to.
