Hell NO! Please don't add 10psi to the max rating moulded into the tyres . . sorry if I implied that!!
Use the car manufacturer's recommendations, you know the ones, usually a plate somewhere that has a table of pressures for light/heavy loads, normal/fast speeds, front/rear, etc. Simply add
10psi to
*those* numbers! It's the car manufacturers that want you to have a cushy ride and don't care so much about the wear rate, etc.

| | What pressure do they recommend? I run all my tires at the rated maximum | printed on the tire, which is usually 35 psi, provides the best handling and | fuel economy. | |
