I periodically thought my tires looked low, as radials tend to, with my first car, around 2,001. I did not have a tire gauge and the gas stations that I used did not either. After a while, someone that one of my tires was splitting. It turned out that I had it at 50 psi, the steel radials were exposed in the middle, and one side of the tire was larger than the other.
Maybe they were only rated for 32 PSI, like my Forester tires.
Someone on here figured out that wearing out the tires slightly faster was more than compensated by improved mileage, but I do not know that I would be able to find that thread now.
