44 sounds like the max under max load. My 1/2 ton Dodge truck takes 44 psi max but, I run them at 36 psi. Operating pressure is lower than the max. Most cars have a 32-36 psi operating psi. If you run 44 psi you'd probably wear a bald strip right in the center of the tire.

Back in the 70s somebody was selling pieces of 2x4 as "gas savers" you put the piece of wood behind your gas pedal and it prevented you from stomping down. I asked my step dad about it and he remembers that during WWII they indeed did put pieces of wood behind the gas pedals to save fuel.

Unless you have Chinese tires in which case when they get hot they'll explode. You're also forgetting that Summer is blowout season in TX and you can tell by the amount of blown retreads and tires you see littering 635 in Dallas. Yes, check your tires but more importantly stay off the throttle pedal. Just go easy on the gas pedal... 8-( On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 9:54 PM, <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote: But you're supposed to check while cold.
