Lower the pressure in your tires down to around 30-32 psi. Why are you running so much pressure anyways?

Why in the world would you OVER PRESSURIZE your tires??????????? The "NORMAL operating pressure is 28-32 (measured COLD) The optiomal pressure that gives the best ride wear and performance is 30 PSI

Look on the door operating sticker for the factory pressure recommendation.

2 psi above which rating? the door or the tires? Check pressure with a tire pressure gauge. You should not be getting any high pressure warnings if its only 32 or 33 lbs in them, sounds like a lot more than 32 psi. And there is no reset to the tire warning message. Take some air out of the tires and measure with a gauge until 30-32, then start it and drive it.

Oh and over inflating the tires will not give them longer life, it just wears the tire center faster than the shoulders shortening the life of the tire because you won't get even wear across the tread pattern. Just keep them properly inflated for gas mileage and even wear.

So, how much has your mpg increased running this higher pressure?

Hope it's a lot, because you are compromising tire wear, handling and ride for it....
