Tire Pressure Argument for the 49th time
I have read many members use 18 or so pounds of pressure in the front tires. My argument is that that is good. My wrecker driver friend says that I need 44 pounds in the front tires and I'm using Continental ContiProcontact. The argument is that the manufacturer requires 44 lbs. I've been happy with 19 - 20 lbs pressure but no, a heated argument has ensued. No lives at risk, but... Is the guy wrong? And after picking up many vehicles he reports that Continental tires fail most often. Any comment? My guess is that based on forum comments, performance is better at 18.
