Oops ... shame on me
I only looked at the time code on the tires. Right now after reading your message I checked again and there is written "max 44PSI".
While my summer tires are 8 years old and should be replaced soon due to their age the tread depth still is 1/4". Sad to throw them away.
I don't drive fast (country roads 50MPH / motorway 70MPH) and we're just two passengers, mostly without luggage.
I'm now driving my summer tires at 50PSI since 6,000 miles w/o problems.
I didn't realized saving more fuel when increasing the pressure from 44 to 50PSI. So I will reduce to 44PSI soon.
