Tire Pressure On 20's

I am usually at 40 now but I used to run up to 44. I will admit that when I got new tires the tech set the pressure to 34 and I swear to God the car felt like a different car. The ride is harsh but you have to protect the wheels.

37.85 PSI in the front right
38.75 PSI in the front left to account for driver weight
36.899234 in the rear left, expect on sunny days when the tires get softer
seriously . . . I think you guys are over thinking this a little bit!

The higher tire pressure will do more to deteriorate the ride than the low profile tires. I had mine set to 33 by the tire tech once and the car felt so nice but you have to protect the wheels.I am lucky because the highways are impeccable where I live so the 40-42psi will not kill me usually.

put it in extreme, if you have 20psi, when you hit pot hole, it will compress the tire faster (easier), so it reaches your rim easier and potentially bending it. if you have a lot of pressure, the tire tends to not compress as easily so to protect the rim more.
but like i said, it's relative. it helps, but i won't say it's going to be night and day difference in terms of protection.

i see what you guys mean finally. more air to protect the rim cuz too little air and the pot hole would go right through the soft tire hit the rim directly. thats the first time ive hear that perspective. all the bent rims ive seen were from over inflated tires going over big pot holes.

funny you say that. a friend of mine with 2gs one time hit a pot hole, tire/wheel were actually ok, but he managed to bent something in the suspension and ended up having to replace something (forgot what arm). when asked he said he put 45psi in the tire. can't say if it's related, but thought it's funny when i read your post
