   tell me different. What I'm not going to do is put much stock in people with   
   no tire training at all advising me on how to set my tire pressure. The way I   
   see it, we have the    
   exact same training in this field. Think yourself more qualified than I, do   
   you?

   I'll inflate the tire to whatever I want - the same as you do.

   Me  setting  my  tires  pressures  to, or  just above  the  vehicle recommended   
   cold pressures, is not  "whatever I  want"  to  fill my tires to - it's    
   called     
   FOLLOWING  INSTRUCTIONS.   
      
   My  current  car  calls for  cold  inflation pressures, for  the  OEM tire   
   size,  of     
   32psi  at  all four  corners.  I keep  them  at  33psi cold, to  account  for   
   possible   
   gauge discrepancy.  In  winter, 34psi to  compensate  for  rubber  not    
   heating  up     
   with driving  as  quickly  as during  the  other  three seasons.    
      
   Been  doing  that  for  over  a year now, and  my  tread  depths,  across the   
   treads,     
   have  been  within  1mm from inside  to outside.  Ride  and  handling?  What   
   I'd     
   expect  them  to  be  under  a  wide  variety  of  driving  scenarios or    
   conditions.
