@hackish. I'm with you. I think if I can come up with the kind of money it takes to purchase a set of Michelins, or BFG ATs, that will be the route I go. I worked in tires for about two years and Michelins have the highest quality of any tire I have installed for a customer. Goodyears and Firestone's scare me because the sidewalls and carcas are paper thin. I'm with you on the psi being a balancing act. If so many people are over-inflating, I'm curious if anyone has taken the additional tire wear into consideration. It seems to me that over-inflating might have minimal gains, if any, when compared to purchasing a new set of tires. I'll never run more psi than the tire is recommended for either, that's just asking for trouble...especially on the highway. Thanks for the feedback.
