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. |
If you have a spare and don't drive fast just keep running them,
If your worried just buy a pair for the front keeping the old tires on the rear of the car.
Normally they don't blow they just end up with the tread falling off which allows you to pull over and put on a spare
My oldest tires were a cheap set of fleet farm desert dogs, made it 10 years then the tread rolled off one tire.
