Default FYI tire pressure

So, i took off the winter and had all seasons put on last friday at Costco, including complimentary nitrogen. (Bridgestone Alenza). Anyway, i didnt notice an increase in my MPG's, so this morning before work i decided to check the tire pressure, all four wheels were at 26PSI, WTF, i bumped it up to my usual 34-35PSI, hopefully that does the trick.

just a tip i guess, when we all go to get tires swapped over, tell them the tire pressure to you want, and check it after.

Hence checking tire pressures bi-weekly pays off. My air compressor has paid for itself twice over.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually forget to tell them.

Here's a tip. If you have Shell gas station around, go to the air compressor and press the button 3 times for free air.
