OK Capri, we seem to be warming up to you now ... so how about some scientific information?

It's what we are waiting for ... Just as an FYI I have been running 50psi cold, Nitrofill in my tires since new, about 2 months now. I have seen better FE, better handling and better coasting ability. Also less hydroplaning in the rain, that data however was @ 50mph, a speed where hydroplaning hasn't been an issue with this vehicle before. Sidewall max rating for my goodyears is 44psi.

Also I have reduced my vehicles overall weight by about 300lbs.
