I maintain 60 psi by checking during the warm hours of a day, at the end of my commute, when the tires are their warmest. I boost then as needed. The purpose it to try and keep the cold temp maybe 10 psi over the 44 max sidewall. Been doing that forever, following the PaleCivic of Palemelanesian (who ran his at 60psi for years too, without problems).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
