Higher Tire Pressures
 
Just curious what everyone has there tire pressure at. I have yet to add any air to mine but, am very hesistant to go over the recommended side wall pressure. Anyone on the list have a tire blow up because of to much pressure? Good experiences/bad experiences thoughts.

I think you'll find that everyone here either runs factory spec (35/32, I think), +5, or max sidewall (44 in my case). I doubt that anybody is running over sidewall, and if they are, it's not because we told them to.

I remember reading about people running 50psi.

Some tire sidewalls state up to 51psi max (especially on larger, wider tires - like those on many 17" rims).
My standard Dunlops are 44psi max. Whatever was put in at the dealership is what is in them, and I haven't checked yet (I've had the car only three days). I suspect they're at 32 or so, though.

60psi front and back on mine. Tires are rated at 51 btw. Standard 14" dunlop sp 20 FEs.

You are more likely to blow a tire with too low pressure than too high. I don't recomend going as high as I do unless your a fanatic, but the likelyhood of it blowing is less than someone running a tire at 10psi below recomended.

I've hit many a potholes without it blowing btw.

44psi, sidewall max. I increased it slowly and didn't really notice any change.
