you beat me again!!!
Each part in the suspension can only serve a specific function. Tweaking one requires MAJOr tweaking of another. The tire function is (my quess) "softness'.
I had an infinitiq45 w/ electronic suspension....what a difference. never knew I was at 45psi.
do you know why they don't put it in every car?
too expensive for the mpg gain.
easier to have 32 psi in the tire.
People MAY claim to want better mpg......but not at the cost of a hash ride.
In fact, THAT mpg consumer is already giving u soooo much, at least they want a softer ride.
Not to be insulting, but you view is not at all consumer oriented. You don't 'get' who buys or why. remembers buyers buy on emotion at the end of the day.
