Re: Tire Pressure poll
Pretty easy: I use the rating on the PII's tire info on the driver's side door. Can't remember what that is, but I don't have to.
After airing the tires, I set the low inflation alarm, or whatever.
The LA Times today had an article concerning the probable failure of low aspect ratio tires (.65 or less).

Don't forget, people don't enter these threads by ONLY clicking on the Prius icon on the front page. I entered it from an RSS feed. There was nothing in the question itself that specifies a Prius.

Re: Tire Pressure poll
How can I find a tire's recommended pressures by the manufacturer .. are these number ingrained into the rubber on the side of the tire? Specifically, I want to see why we arrived at the number of 42/40 for the Prius?
Also, my second car is a conventional Hyundai Sonata, and I am wondering what tire pressrue should I maintian in that car?

Re: Tire Pressure poll
Call me crazy (some of you probably will) but I run at 52/50. Excellent for hypermiling and no ill tread wear effects at 31K miles, after about 20k miles at the higher pressures. Slightly rougher ride and MUCH improved mpg (50.5 mpg in January to 55.5 mpg current lifetime) is all I have noticed.
