Down here we can enjoy the weather until about the 1st week of November. After that its miserable until March. 4 months of actual winter. Sometimes we get almost no snow and other times we get 2 feet. It's hard to say. I should have the Jeep up and running by then tho.

Here in NYS we're good til early-mid November -- whenever the first time they salt the roads is. March can go either way. I wait until after the last time they salt, then we get rains to wash it away, sometimes goes well into April like this year. Either way I'm fine with it. The only people it bothers is people who live in the south.

LOL....and touche !!! I can't/won't speak for anyone else, but in all the cars i've ever owned, and thats a lot....i've never had any of them have and/or keep perfect tire wear. Theres always one or two that just wants to wear goofy even if only slightly. Sure the experts can always blame it on poor alignment which is usually true, but seriously.....in order to keep a perfect alignment you're gonna have to have it aligned every 3 months.....pot holes.....bumps.....wives ()...Etc....Etc. So if I see a tire wearing a certain way and I can help prolong it's life by adding or subtracting a little air pressure here and there thats what i'm gonna do................

Yeah, but then they put those festive GREEN caps on your valve stems!!! ;-)

Driving to Costco for free nitrogen is ridiculous. I fill mine to 30 psi cold with plain old air from my compressor. Yesterday morning I was getting ready for a 400 mile round trip so I checked the tire pressure. After setting for about three weeks the rears still had 30 psi and the fronts had 29.5 each.

Ditch the run fats, you'll be much happier. The only time they are any good is when they're flat.

Good luck.

Agree with all the others that have said 30pai. The other day my sensors were indicating my rear left was low, so I stopped by our local Big-O to have all the tires checked. I asked the young kid to ensure they all had 30psi; almost as soon as I pulled out, got a high tire pressure warning on my DIC. Drove straight home and checked the pressure -- the kid had filled them all to just over 40psi, so I lowered them all back down to 30.

If you're checking tire pressure hot, they should be filled to around 32 psi. If they are inflated to 30 psi hot, they will be at around 28 psi cold. I see at least 2 lbs. hot versus cold difference.

Thanks, I do know that, should have said; 'Drove straight home and waited over any hour and then checked them ...'

Discount Tire here has done that every time on my GS 40-45 psi even though the receipt says 30 psi. They do the same thing to my wife's Wrangler Unlimited 40-45 psi

It's important to remember that just b/c a shop/store carries/sells tires, that doesn't mean that the staff use accurate pressure gauges. I use high-quality analog and digital gauges that are about 1 lb psi differential to check tires of all my rigs after a "tire store" checks pressure. Two weeks ago, I found all four of my Audi's tires were 8 lbs over -- after taking the rig in for a regular "balance check."

agreed 30 psi COLD is fine. During oil change the other day, they checked pressures and varied 35-37 psi. Tires were warm to touch. Next morning back to 30-31 all four tires.
Autocrossing and road racing, always started at 32-34 and tires would heat up to 40ish which worked fine on track. Fresh mounted tires need to be 30 PSI. Oh, and might check lug torque, too.
100 lb ft is correct. I've seen 130+lb/ft. I've only seen one dealer (NTW way back)owner was a racer.
