Whats too much Psi

[Hockey4mnhs]

My tire Psi limit is 44 i have about 47 in all. What is to much over where it is getting unsafe.

I guess 44 would be considered safe by the MFG. I know people on these boards have had there tires up to 50-60psi without much risk. You could probally get it up to +100 before the tire would blow (DONT DO THAT!!!).

so it says 44 so could i go to lets say 54 and it would fine?

I think 44psi should be alright. Any more than that and the tires might wear more on the centre of the tread. The general idea is not to have them too low that the tire becomes saggy and hard for the engine to do its work. I'm not sure if you would see much improvement with 54 as opposed to 44 (compared to say 34 and 44).

I just really dislike how Wal-Mart keeps making my psi 32 in each tire whenever I get an oil change. I need to remind myself to let them know to leave them alone.

That's one of my pet peeves. I'm in the habit of telling any place I take my car not to adjust the tire pressure. The dealer will take my car, still hot from the interstate, and "correct" the tire pressure. As a consequence it comes back after being "professionally serviced" wallowing around corners because all four tires are about 3-4 pounds low (that's before I started overinflating.)

I would run the tries at 50. My tires are rated at 45 and i run 50. I think there there is a slightly harher ride, but nothing major.

50 sounds like a nice round # to go for

I run 50, I think dan has run 60, and I've pymped a tire up past 120 before, but not driven on it, so yeah, 50 is good.

That is very dangerous(120psi). You do not want to be standing near a tire when it decides to explode.

I was at the shop trying to repair a leak and I couldn't find it so the other guy came over and was like, here, let me fill it up at bit, so he filled it up to 120 and was like, there's the leak. *shrug* I was scared but he seemed to know what he was doing. Kids these days, pssh.
