Is there a thread about how fast one can accelerate at a given engine load with various tire pressures? I found it easier to accelerate at 45 PSI than at 50 or 55 PSI, Giving better FE in shorter trips in which I mostly accelerated in Drive slowly instead of flooring it in low gear to the speed limit.

And this thread is helpful, Thanks.
