:?: First, is it possible in for a moderator to set up a 'poll' thread where everyone can post their front and rear PSI figures for comparison?
It would be nice to see as a chart what the overall groups distribution is for front and rear.
:?: Second, I am wondering if having the front at 35 or even lower, and the back at the high PSI (44 or over) would give a good compromise with mpg AND performance?
I don't see any reason to keep the back not at high PSI because it's not the rear that accelerates or needs as much traction in turning, and as long as it has enough traction it won't fly out on a turn - the lower the rolling resistance to the back the better and without a performance hit (other than road noise which can be fixed with sound insulation).
However, for the front, I seem to get less traction with the higher PSI and wonder if it is worth the mpg increase. When I try to back up out of my steep driveway, the wheels stutter a lot at the high PSI, for example.
I'm going to test this out, but my question is:
:?: Has anyone already tried this setup already?
Hi pressure in back, low pressure in front.
I saw some posts about people thinking of different tires in front and back, but maybe you can accomplish the same thing just with PSI differences above the Honda specs.
