I was told to always check the pressure when it's cold or you have driven
less than a mile.  I run mine a little higher than most people but I like
the way it feels so there it stays.  I run at about 32psi.  I am still doing
some playing but any harder seems to make it feel like it follows every rut
in the road and softer makes parking lots more challenging with no power
steering.

P.S.  Everyone else have problems with the list today?  I was going through
withdrawal.
