Tire Pressure?
Hey guys, was driving home from tallahassee to miami, florida, stopped halfway at orlando and got gas, decided to have guy check my tire pressure because he wouldnt stop bugging me, and my front left tire had........
90 GOD DAMN pounds of pressure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont konw how my tire did not blow on way to orlando, i cant believe i made it that far.
never knew hancook ventus were THAT durable
just wanted to say that...
i have no idea how i got 90 lbs in there? i know i never put that much air.

yup that's a bit high ---- if in fact that's an actual reading (meaning correct --- meaning accurate...)
I say this because I don't trust the gas jockey guys to know how to accurately check tire pressures. If his gauge was messed up or if its not used properly I've seen someone check their pressure and say: "man , I need air, I only got 2 in there" actually he had twenty but thought it was two looking at the gauge...etcetcetc

I once left my air pump on a Kumho ECSTA 711 in my previous car, and got on the phone and walked into the house, came out later after realizing what I had done, and the pump had shut it self off, and the tire pressure was at 60 PSI's, never had any trouble though.

Makes me feel better now.
My Conti says 44psi. But I went with 50 psi all around and it runs fine. I do not push my car hard and alot of my driving is neighborhood driving with some freeway.
When I checked my tires, they were all around 30. These are new tires put in about 2 months ago. I dount the tire shops pump them up to the correct psi to start with.
But 90!! Dang!
