Everyone should be following inflation values specified in the owners manual or door placard, so I don’t understand your statement. Or do you sell tires and emphasize checking pressures to your customers?
My truck only has a low pressure warning, whereas the car, being newer, displays actual pressure of the tires.
I agree, but I also believe in inflating one’s tires 2, or 3, or maybe 4 psi higher than the pressure specified by the vehicle mfr. I feel that handling response is better with slightly-increased inflation pressure, and I actually prefer the ride quality with a slightly “harder” tire. Additionally, when temps drop, one won’t be driving on under-inflated tires if his nominal psi is above the vehicle mfr’s specified psi.
My current vehicle has a specified “cold” psi of 33, but I really prefer the handling and the ride quality if I boost it to 36 or 37.
Agreed, I got better tire wear and control inflating truck tires 3 lbs over, car is fine using mfg recommendation.
Anecdotally, I have estimated the following percentages regarding cold tire pressure settings, based on lack of maintenance, misinformation, disinformation, etc:
40% of U.S. drivers are driving on under-inflated tires.
40% of U.S. drivers - over-inflated.
And the remainder of drivers with tires plus/minus 1psi of vehicle spec pressures?
20%.
I’m in the latter-most category, and am LOVIN it! Car handles predictably, securely, and response to steering and braking inputs is proportionate.
After consulting tire pressure and load tables readily available online, I made the following determination:
The cold pressures specified by the car makers will support, per tire, 110-125% of the GAWR(gross axle weight) for a vehicle.
That is, the most one could hope to fit into their vehicle(EG: 5 passengers, their luggage, full tank of gas, oh, and the dog). Not the curb weight, which is just the weight of the car itself with engine fluids and half tank of fuel.
On my 2010 Honda Accord, the 32psi specified for all tires will support 110% of my front gross axle, and 119% of my rear gross axle.
At 32psi, the front tires max load is 1,334lbs, 10 percent more than the GROSS front axle load of 1,202lbs per tire. And 19 percent more than the gross rear axle, 1,032lbs. Therefore, there is no reason for me to inflate any higher than the Honda specified 32. Maybe 1-2psi over, during winter, but that’s all.
Suggesting that I should inflate my tires to 35 or 40psi is pure misinformation, unless I have changed my wheel and tire sizes from the OEM, and those were the figures derived from standardized tire and load tables.
Being in the tire business for the last 17 years before retirement and still keeping up with them somewhat… I am a Firestone/Bridgestone user, I have also driven many of the same vehicles with different tires on them plus always asked long time customers what they like, not all ran 'Stones… I have also had the chance to test on wet/dry courses different makes and models against comparable 'stones… So my 1st choice is always one of the 'stones, but not all 'stones are good and some are way better then others…
Truck tires, it is hard to beat the Destination LE/AT/MT’s, I have had many trucks that came OE with Michelins replace them with the LE’s and say they ride about the same but the LE’s have better wet (rain) weather traction… I just out a set on my old truck…
Car tires all depends on the size and how I plan on driving it… I just put some All Seasons on my sons Cobalt, I have bought probably at least 8 sets of the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus (no longer made) and the Vibe/Matrix has them as well as the Infinity has them… But when My daughter wanted the Michelins off her Corolla I put the Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack’s on it and she has about 40K on them and still loves them…
Most of my favorites like the Serenity Plus, FR710, SE200, Indy 500, etc etc are no longer… My wife couldn’t wait to get the OE GY’s off her Corolla for the SE200’s…
BTW: No disrespect to anyone, but I find it hard to take someone’s tire recommendations seriously for handling, braking and driving fast from someone that drives well below the speed limit and very rarely changes lanes … Now how a tire rides maybe and how it handles the snow and ice–yes, but not handling and hard braking… lol…
Now this is based on my area, we don’t get the snow like a lot of y’all do… but the snow we get with the Hills and curves here, I have never had an issue it and I always love getting out and playing in the snow… lol
I suggest that you tell CapriRacer, our resident tire engineer, that he is spreading misinformation. This is what he posted regarding this topic:
"Slightly overinflated tires (3 to 5 psi over placard) is sometimes a good thing. It promotes tire wear, fuel economy, steering responsiveness, hydroplaning resistance, snow traction, but the ride quality suffers.
But don’t do more than 3 to 5 psi (assuming the tire size is as listed.)"
fwiw . . .
I think Michelin is a good choice for passenger cars, minivans and small suvs
But I think it’s somewhat overrated for LT-tires
This got me to thinking of the many brands of tires that I remember as a kid growing up, tires that I installed as a teen working at the corner Chevron station, and later used and sold when I had my own place for several years. Anyone remember these brands?
Winston
Seiberling
Road Hugger
Atlas
Cornell
Delta
Monarch
I’m sure some of you old timers remember many more. 
A family former friend had a tire shop and his favorite was seiberling. He would get blems for a good bargain.
I sold and installed Atlas tires at a Sohio station.
Did they have black tape over the TPMS light on their dash?
I think that Atlas was the “house brand” of tire at Esso, Sohio, Chevron, and other stations that had once been under the umbrella of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Co.
Hey! I resemble that remark. 
Another one that I recall from as recently as the late '50s was Gillette tires. Cornell was the house brand at Pep Boys.
I used to drive like that: 5-10mph over posted, braking, changing lanes just for the sake of it or because I preferred the view from the left lane vs from the right. Then as I progressed through my forties and early fifties, a thought crossed my mind:
This AIN’T NASCAR, what the f___k am I doing??
By rights, everyone should be driving, in the right most lanes, in the upper third of the posted speed range. EG: Speed Limit 55, Miinimum 40. Everyone should be from 49-53mph, not treating the higher number(55) as the minimum, to be exceeded by at least 10mph.
I learned more about tires and wheels, loading, etc. from Capri in one year than I would ever pick up on my own, or via an ASE program.
So while I respect him and his knowledge, it doesn’t mean I agree with him, or have to, on every point.
1-2psi is as far as I’ll over inflate, especially in a Honda that is already relatively firmly sprung and with responsive enough steering. And I don’t like to burn out on takeoffs or screech the tires under sudden braking conditions.
Probably ignored, if pressure was low enough to trigger it. Just as most drivers ignore CEL(check engine).
Heck around here even the postal trucks drive 10-15 mph over the limit when going to or from a route… Most LEO’s including State Trooper’s drive over and don’t mess with you unless you are going 15mph over the limit… And I have had more than one Trooper tell me they hate more then anything to be heading home in the marked vehicle and come up on someone going 5-10 over and then slow down like you drive… lol
So you would be well hated and probably get ran over down here in the south…
But with all the hills and curves here, you can’t go to fast for very long cause you can’t see miles down the road like some other states that are mostly flat and you see your dog running away for 3 days…lol
Most native Tn and KY people (from what I have seen over years driving there also) don’t think you are driving fast unless you are at least 15/20 mph over…
Heck I got pulled over doing 80+ in a 45 construction zone on I65 (about 10 miles outside of Nashville) on a Sunday morning heading to work (No road crew workers on weekends and they were almost done with that section so nice smooth open road, and very little traffic at that time soo) and he just ran my plates vin and license and came back up and just told me to slow down… I said yes sir and thank you sir, I am always very respectful to LEOs…
I dare someone to try and run me over.
That’s the problem with Americans - the whole country was founded on the premise of “I can do whatever I want”.
So be it. You treat the speed limit as inconsequential or irrelevant, I’ll do what I do.
Ive had good luck with continental lately. OEM on my accent lasted 55k. Replaced them another set. Pretty quiet and reasonably priced. My wifes crv ate yp the OEM hankooks in 30k. Put a set of continentals on It and not much wear after 25k.
I used to like michelins, but they dont seem to last long enough for the extra cost.
Dang garbage trucks full throttle to the next stop, then brake squeal for the next stop. Vehicle abuse!
