Also, since you drive on th freeway a lot, consider increasing the diameter of the tires on your next purchase. it will reduce the rpm at cruising speeds and get better mpg.

When your ready to buy tires, give a shout and will get you more info.
I run my tires at the maximum sidewall pressure of 51 psi cold. On the interstate when warmed up the tires will creep up to 56 psi.

I like the idea of running taller tires, I will definitely be doing this mod when the time comes.

At interstate speeds of 71 mph the engine runs at 2000 rpm.
