Peter, slightly off topic, but just curious as to why we should maintain tyre pressure 2 psi more than recommended? From what I know, dont tyres heat up during extended highway driving and therefore shouldnt the pressure inside automatically increase due to heating of the air? If yes, isnt it better that one keeps the pressure lower rather than higher? |
It is always better to maintain a bit of hgher pressure during long trips or with full load conditions. The car tyres will absorb the extra shocks that will be generated during the journey. Also it will take most of the load during journey.
