Tire Inflation: Proper PSI to run?

[tofunit at yahoo.com (toFUNit@yahoo.com)]

Well Had always put 32 on my tire, no matter what it says!
Since I run it only during summertime, stays at 32, but if you run it during
wintertime, I suggest to lower it to 30 to increase the traction...

If you inflate too much, the wear of the tire will be affect and the smooth of
the drive too, but depends what you aim to get! Fuel millage will we affect
also if you don't inflate enough.
