What's the sidewall rating ?
On the European version it's 51 psi.
Though at 44 you'll already have the greater part of the possible fuel savings.
Wow.

Over here all we have is the Continental ProContact with EcoPlus. They actually do slightly worse than most other LRR tires in their class but they are a great value and reward you with fantastic traction and handling for a
LRR tire. So far as we know the Enery Saver A/S (all-season) is the most fuel efficient tire. It has it's drawbacks, however.
The tire is rated 44psi max. I agree that I am not likely to see much of a gain by going any higher in pressure.
