Hello,
Live in New England.
Had a new set of 4 all weather tires put on recently; Nokian's WR G2. Car is a 2009 Buick LaCrosse
Asked the tire shop to set the pressures at 30 psi, as that is what the car sticker by the door says.
He set it at 33 psi, and I notice after driving a while that it goes up to 35 psi per the TPMS readout.
The folks at the tire store said emphatically that they always set the pressures "a bit" higher as it prolongs tire life, etc.
I think that I read somewhere many years ago, also, that this was a good idea.
Question: even though car's sticker says 30 psi, is having it set to 33 psi when cold, going to 35 when warmed up "safe" ?
Good idea ?
Thanks, Bob
