What Happens if I Overinflate My Tires? overinflation tir...
When the tire is overly-inflated the sidewalls become harder, and instead of absorbing the road bumps and shocks, they are transferred straight through to the vehicle’s suspension. This can result in a harsher ride, as well as increased road noise from the tires. In severe cases, when dealing with older or severely overinflated tires, the tire’s sidewall may even be put at risk to blowing out due to the increased pressure.

Thanks ninjababez!
So harder tires transfer additional stress of hitting road bumps more often to the suspension, aside from having a bouncy road travel.
During floods and rainy season din pala, not advisable to have overinflated tires as there would be less grip with the ground.

December 28th, 2023 04:42 PM #87Hey, Chris aka "TireWhisperer here,
I wouldn't "do tires" any other way than with my own gear.
Most producers of products are good to great at what they specialize in:
Car makers: Cars, SUVs, light trucks.
Tire accessory makers: Gauges, pumps, tread-depth readers etc.
I would rely on a dashboard tire pressure readout strictly as a backup resource, but rely first on a good gauge to get tire pressures where they need to be.

December 28th, 2023 04:56 PM #88Hi ninja,
I chose my handle for good reason: Back in the states my hands are tied trying to dismantle myths regarding tire care.
And one of them is overinflation! Americans can't seem to get enough air in their tires. Many of my fellow Yanks insist on keeping tires pressurized to the maximum load pressure molded into the sidewall, and consider the vehicle spec pressures "too low", and "mushy" by comparison.
I tell them, try running 45-50 psi on a Tacoma or Hilux equivalent on rainy mountain roads where my wife's family lives in Benguet, and see how far they get.
But hey, it's their ride, and "none of my biz".
I'm in regular contact with, of all people, a re'tire'd(!) engineer for the U.S. branch of Continental Tire Co. I studied his website, and paid attention to what he taught me in our e-mail correspondence. He is a treasured car care resource.

That is true if you don't have a baseline. However, once you have made a determination that the onboard TPMS and an independent tire gauge matches up their readings, it's then safe to assume that the TPMS readouts would be accurate and trustworthy.
My Accutire MS-4021B matches the TPMS readouts down to around 0.5 PSI.Last edited by oj88; December 28th, 2023 at 05:16 PM.
the triumph of man over... man!, using the crudest of implements (by modern standards).
Traffic!
