I bought a 2004 Forester with Yokohama Geolander G900 tires. The dealer delivered the car with 40 PSI in the tires, which is a lot higher than Subaru recommends. (Subaru says 29 PSI front and 28 to 36 PSI rear, depending on load.) The tire sidewalls state that these tires can handle pressures of up to 44 PSI.
Is there any advantage to using a higher tire pressure than Subaru recommends, or is my dealer just crazy? Kenneth Almquist
