I doubt if you will find any real facts to back that statement . One light on Motorcycle - 2 on most cars and trucks -

Who the heck is Wenjoy?
Does he reside in China, or in The US, or⊠?
Have you really done a controlled test of the handling in a high-speed low-traction situation as compared to tires with the proper pressure? I strongly doubt that you have, in which case your claim is nonsense.

When I hear about over inflating tires, I think about the book by Hunter Thompson âFear and Loathing in Las Vegasâ (which I think became a movie. In one chapter, the drug runners pump the tires up to 65 psi if my memory serves me correctly. At any rate, inflating tires to more than the specified pressure on the pressures specified on the placard on the door pillar should be left to fiction.
I donât believe it for one minute. Just like your fake blood delivery driver whoâs allowed to drive over 100mpgâŠwhich weâve PROVEN you canât. But you keep pushing that bull. Youâve proven to this forum you all talk. Find another forum to spread your bull.

With 51 psi maximum pressure tires at 48 psi, I have noticed the difference in the fuel mileage compared to the 35 psi on the door placard.
Have a photof the 2016 RX350 speedometer at 130.
Do not knowhy an RX350 would go that fast, buthe rural hospital said it saved the life of a 13-year-old in postpartum hemorrhage.
Yea RightâŠNot for one minute. Youâre the only one who has.
Others also notice improved gas mileage witharder tires.
Wife and I feel a big difference when our tandem bicycle tires are pumped up to proper 65 psi.
Unfortunately, fuel mileage measurements are ruined by emergentransports. Was gettingreat full mileage until called to rush blood platelets up to a mountaihospital against a strong headwind.
You canât compare bicycle tires to standard car tires⊠My 40yo 27" 10 speed ran 60psi.
My hot rod with standard street tires I run about 26 psi for best traction, if I put 40+psi in the tires it would be like driving on ice, I would overpower the tires with an egg between my foot and the gas pedal⊠lol
A tire is like a basket ball, round and full of air and likes to bounce, the harder the tires the more strain you are putting on the struts/shocks and other suspension parts⊠Next time you rotate your tires hold one up to your chest and drop it and see how much more it bounces at 48 psi compared to 35psi⊠but be careful as it might knock your teeth out at 48 psi⊠lol
| Bike tire type | PSI range |
|---|---|
| Kidsâ bike tires | 20â40 PSI |
| Narrow tires / road bikes | 80â130 PSI |
| Medium tires / hybrid bikes | 50â70 PSI |
| Thick tires / mountain bikes | 30 PSI (off-road) 50 PSI (on-road) |

Just the opposite for me. When the weather turned warm, my tires were registering 40# instead of 30#. I could feel every line in the pavement. A lot smoother when I let air out again down to 30.

A registered tree-hugger and Greenie is to endure the discomfort of harder tires transmitting bumps and vibrations to the vehicle body. The price to pay for gasaved and less pollution generated.
Struts and shocks are still good at 378k. (But most of that is on highways and Interstate roadways.)
(Are the biggestires which will fit also absorbing more vibrations and bumps?)
And yet, youâre more than willing to do this:
Can I drain and replace fluid every week and accomplish enough fluid exchange to be worthwhile?
to save money at a dealership that will do the job properly the first time and not introduce multiple times the necessary used transmission fluid into the recycling stream⊠tree hugger and greenie when it suits your agenda?

Recycled when we go to the Walmart which recycles oil and antifreeze.
Same destination as the dealer waste and not driving to the dealer and having themergencyehicle unavailable for a day.
Drove the RX350 to a transmission shop.
Walked 3 miles home with wife ready to pick me up in the other emergencyehicle.
Home one hour and called that it was finished. Walked back.
$250 since I am a voldumbteer.
I know this is an old post butâŠâŠâŠâŠ
Windshield washers were an option since the very first windshields. After all we had soap, water, rags and hands long before windshields.

Did Tom say he held a spray bottle out the driverâs window to spray water on the windshield?
From what I remember from my '69 Beetle, the washer had a lower limit on the air use. I want to say 20 psi? It would not use all the air in the spare (hey, that rhymes!)
The WW fluid reservoir on those old VWs werenât built sufficiently strong so as to withstand the required air pressure.
The first one that failed on my brotherâs beetle was replaced under warranty, when a seam on the reservoir split. When the same thing happened with the second reservoirâafter the warranty expiredâhe opted to forgo washers since they were never very effective in the first place.
I liked the handles inside on Land Rovers (through a hole in the windshield) for manual operation.
