One more thing I should mention, lean burn is not working on my car, so there is further potential when I get that working again.
I was going to ask about the ride quality. I run my RAM's tires at 37-38 psi normally. Book says 35. Never thought of running max sidewall (44 psi). Tire wear still even?

Wish I'd thought of that before I bought new tires. Could have bought a higher load range...
