  Quite a few of the new tires are coming out with higher psi and 
corresponding wear ratings.  :-)  Interestingly my last set had one 
or two at 36 psi max and at least two at 44psi max.  :-P  After 
bumping the pressures from about 28 (recommended pressure) to 
about 32 and 34 my mileage went up from low 30's to an even 40 mpg!
Rides a LITTLE more harsh and handles a little more darty, slightly 
noisier but nothing to any degree.
