I concur. The max psi listed on the sidewall is for a cold fill and includes a factor of safety for expansion under operating conditions.

thx guys

I run 48f and 46r on the Integrities. I understand burst pressure is 4-5x that of recommended max., or about 200 psi.

Well just filled up today with the 38/36 and averaged 50MPG for the tank! Pumped them up to 40/38 and lets see if that makes any difference. Hoping to see another 2mpg.

I have an 07 that I bought in May and just started reading on PC since 18 Sept and Have noticed people talking a lot abought getting a certain amount of miles per tank and MPG. I have read enough about the tire pressures that today I went out and checked what my dealer had them set at and to my surprise I had 28psi in all four wheels! I have been averaging around 45 with this set up and I have also been getting around 525 miles per tank and have never seen the last pip on my fuel guage blink? Usually I put around between 10 and 11 gallons in when I fill up. Be advised that if you leave the fuel nozzle in after the first click off of the fuel pupm you are risking the fuel tank puking all over you. Best way to get a "real" fill up is to remove the nozzle after it clicks off and then while holding the nozzle loosley in the tank opening slowly fill the tank till you see the fuel at the top of the filler.I have also got a high of 55.9 mpg on a trip we made in June shortly after buying the car. I just put 38/36 in my tires and can't wait to see if that makes any difference in mileage.

Sorry, off topic.
Please search threads about overfilling Prius. You can damage the evaporative emissions system and the tank. It is best to fill until the pump shuts off then round off to the nearest 10 cents if you like. An extra quart in the tank wont improve your actual economy but may harm the car or the environment.
Sorry this is a short reply, it's past my bed time.
