Last time I exceeded a tad past max pressure, I ended up with separated tread/belts (tires were now useless trash). Setting 48 psi on a 44psi max-rated tire & flying on the freeway is just asking for trouble. In other words, youre greatly increasing the risk of blowing out a tire(s). -and when that happens during a high speed cruise on the freeway, your life will be in a world of !Removed!.
I just wanted a little info on the range of psi I should set my tires to because I know the pressure on a 'cold' tire differs from that of a tire on a hot day or tires that have just been driven on. I know for one thing that setting 44 psi on a 44psi max-rated tire on 'cold' tires is not recommended because when the tire starts to heat up, the pressure will eventually go up past 44psi, exceeding the max-rated psi. That's a no-no!
