Still was about 2650-2700 lbs; not that lightweight. There was also a crosswind. But yes, 68 PSI is not something I would run on non-smooth surfaces or on expensive tires. 60 PSI is my max, and that's what I'll be running on RE92s on the Insight I get next year.

Not sure how that guy over on IC has 120 PSI in his RE92s and compact spares...I mean, he drives 40 MPH on country roads while my example was 55 MPH on the highway, but still.
