If so are you still going with that? I thought most ratings where 45psi high end.The tire dealers and general public using 34-37 psi range depend on vehicle/tire mix.
I run my michelen 185/65r15 lrr at 42-43psi
Like a few others around here, I run my tires at 60 psi. I have for at least two years. They are rated at 44psi. It is an old track trick. But of course your results may vary, you must keep an eye on 'em, and judge your comfort and safety yourself. I'm just a guy with a car and an air pump at the Chevron station.

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.
