    1. Today I bought a new set of these Michelin tires the dealer filled them up to 34 PSI and on the way home I was only getting 40 to 42 miles per gallon down the interstate when I got home I got out the air compressor and filled the front tires to 42 psi and the rear tires to 40 psi, I'm posting a picture of the results something like 53 to the car wash and back. It looks like I'll be happy with these tires the ride is very smooth, hope this helps someone that is looking for new tires.

    Well I just put em on my minivan...just let me know how high Pressure is OK.
    Sounds like 40 is OK.
