    OP, do you use summer air or winter air in your tires?

    Well...
    The fact you're asking leads me to believe it's more than you're used to.
    You went there just for a pressure check?

    I'll assume you're on oem size/load rating Sport tires which are 29 psi cold.
    I'll also assume you posted your warm pressure after driving. Looks like Edgewood, WA was 81° high/69° low. So you should be at about 33 psi after a drive and at 81° ambient temp.
    Your increased mpg comes from a reduced longitudinal footprint.

    If you're on other than oem size and load rating, that changes things...

    It's complicated.
    Was it that the silicone titties were at 36 psi on a hot day?

    It seems to me that silicone titties could be characterized as "harshness" --but on a cold day.

    I've Done. The. Math. Silicone titties at 36 psi provide a very large contact patch.

    You realize P-metric and euro-metric SL tires do not increase load capacity beyond 36 psi? Anything beyond 36 psi is meant to maintain the speed rating of the tire at very high speed.
    In a way, you are at "max".

    I suppose silicone titties could fall under brazen if you chose...

    Most cars in Europe List different pressure per load. This is off my old 2003 BMW convertible…

    I had an E46 ages ago but I do remember the funky tire pressure choices.

    I was wrong but was implying the tire pressures don't change how much the truck can carry.

    I read a chart awhile back that shows once these tacoma tires reach 32psi, there's very little gain in load rating. But I can't find that chart.

    https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

    Here. It's interesting.

    I’ll have a read in a bit after I demolish this…

    I run 40 cold whilst towing and it makes sooo much difference!

    I tell everyone to run 40 rears when towing haha, most recently a friend with a cx5 and another with a tundra. Leaves head room for the 44 max.

    Not for load but for stability and less tire flex.
    Food looks awesome. I had chicken lol now I’m hungry again

    Sounds like someone doesn’t do an tire air exchange when the season changes.

    I ran my E's 45 all summer simply for fuel, I was driving a buttload, just put them back down to 35. Much nicer haha.

    About a month ago now on my current trip, helped a guy outside Baker, CA on the 15 with no jack. His RR tire had exploded and shredded off and he was down to his rim. It was 117. After getting his spare on (it was barely showing tread), I asked him what he sets his pressure to so I can pump it. He said oh 40… 41. I pointed to the sidewall that said max pressure no more than 40. I said I will pump it to 35 and no more. Wished him well and figure he will be someone else's responsibility soon.
