I was wondering how safe is it to run on more PSI than the max rated on the wall of the tires that i have. I got less run off on 47psi(btw Potenza RE730's with max of 44psi) but I dont want to go higher than that....Or maybe I have alignment issues- maybe camber??? Please let me know what do you think....


Thanks in advance!!

why?
the max psi is what its safe for on the street
now if your autoxing or somthing, then you can go higher
but i wouldnt run higher than 35 on the street.

 

I wont even get into how many things in that post dont make sense

but why you would want to LOSE grip by OVERinflating your tires is beyond me

run 36-38 MAX on the street

 

First off, SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION--I AM TALKING ABOUT AUTO-X.

Ok, the porblem I am experiencing is that the outside edge of the tires gets eaten up way more than the middle or the inside og them so that was the reason that I was putting more pressure in them. Now, I am not really sure that I have a problem with camber......

 

are the tires rolling over ?

have you chaulked the side of the tire to set your pressure?

 

Yes the tires do roll over about half of an inch of the little triangle limiter on the tire itself. Yea I have chalked but I reached 47psi hot like I mentioned above and that is 4psi more then the max limit for the tire so I was wondering how safe is to do that???

Thanx again!!

the sidewall pressures are for COLD readings.

Imagine a BFG R1 going out cold at 30 psi, coming in HOT at 55-60 psi.
