      Seems like its pretty important to racer types. Considering how important tire pressure is to mpg Im gonna do it once my car is running again. Who knows could affect alot of things, handling, tire wear, etc.

                Most racers I've seen use a pyrometer and a pressure gauge to set pressures.


                An inexpensive way to get in the ballpark for the correct tire pressure (if you don't bother with the manufacturers recomendation) is to put a chalk mark across the tread and drive it a few feet and see where the chalk is worn off. Outer edges worn off, need more pressure. Center of the tread worn off, too much pressure.

                Or just pay attenttion to how the tire is wearing and adjust accordingly.

                I've never run a tire at the max pressure. Always works better for me closers to the manufacturers recommendation.
