Maybe you didn't read the part on Go Westy about the max pressure being 44 psi on the 215/65R 15 Michelin HydroEdge car tires they are discussing on that page.

I run 40 psi around town in the 205/65R 15Yokohama H4S car tires on my Weekender, 44psi when going on a trip, and it drives very nicely.

Seeya, Jake
