Tire pressure

Best answer is, it depends. One cool trick to get the right pressure is to find a nice smooth parking lot somewhere, and then rub about a 1" wide stripe of chalk across the entire tread of the tires. Drive forward enough that the tires make 10 or so complete revolutions. Check the chalk line. The idea is to have it worn evenly across the entire width of the tire. If it's worn more on the outside edges, it needs more air. If it's worn more in the middle, it needs less.

I wish I could take credit for it. One of the other long time posters here (maybe it was Steve83) posted that a while ago.
