Mechanics always let my tyres down  |
My tires are only rated for 44 PSI maximum, so I do not want to go over 40 PSI because of the pressure increase as the tire heats up, and if I do, the pressure on a hot summer day of prolonged driving could easily increase above 44 PSI, and I do not want to cause a blowout or damage to the tires by exceeding the maximum safe pressure.
