Ok, i must be mistaken about the cold max vs. max part. I assumed that setting cold pressure to the max was resulting in over-rated pressure when warm. Either way, for the mpg vs. risk of death, i will never inflate my tires to that pressure. The reduction in grip from such a drastic psi difference is just too much. Racing a purely stock car means that the only thing i can adjust is my tire pressure. I have gone up 2psi and lost major time. I'd never go up 15psi because when I need that grip (risk of death), it won't be there.
