Remember, all other things being equal, a lower pressure will result in a larger contact patch.

Honestly, the only reason I am running such a high PSI is because the previous owners mechanic always filled it to that level. All the records for the last 3-4 years show the mechanic setting the PSI to 38/46.

I run the following tires:

205/50WR-16 Bridgestone Potenza RE750
225/50WR-16 Bridgestone Potenza RE750

Maybe I should lower the PSI eh?
