Some say you can go all the way up to around 40, which makes the tires more round and gives it less rolling resistance but it also hardens up the tire where you'll feel every little stone on the road.
Thanks for the tip. The tires are Firestone Indy 500's and I'll probably
go for a few pounds more. I'll watch the tread ware to see how it's going.
It will soon be winter here so I'm not sure how harder tires handle in snow?
I'm not sure if these tires are even rated for snow. Off to google...

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Ron
