    As the temps hit the 70's (F) in GA, the EV range has increased from a wintertime low of 33.5 to 35 and rising

    Ah, Spring...

    Cold inflated tires 60 days ago and hit 80F today. So Iet out some air to bring them down to 50 psi.

    50psi? Isn't that kind of high for car tires?
    Is that why I hate the ride? It doesn't feel stable. Lol

    Nexus 6P ?

    I was wondering about the 50 psi also. My Prius v and Prime, I run 42 psi and I thought that may be a little high. The ride is just fine for us at 42psi.

    Tire pressure and shock/springs pretty well defines the ride and handling. I prefer the precision of hard tires BUT understand that others may prefer something softer.
