SLIGHTLY overinflate your tires for better gas mileage?
i think it's common knowledge that one should keep your tire pressure in check according to what's posted on the driver's seat
and i think it's also common knowledge that you should not overinflate your tires beyond the tire manufacturer's specifications so your tires do not explode. you can find the max value embossed on the tire itself, and its usually 50psi for most common tires
but has anybody tried slightly over-inflating your tires by maybe about 10-15% more than the car's posted recommended pressure (but of course not going over the tire's max value)? people say that the ride will be a bit bumpier but your gas mileage will improve a bit....
YMMV of course
