I'm not at all sure I'd be able to spot any difference car handling or grip level in a blind test if the difference was about 2 psi. :)

I would have thought the same but It definately does feel better. I guess it depends on the many variables there are, what you drive, its weight, the tyre construction etc etc.Quote:

Quite a while ago now but we adjusted tire pressures on racing tires by a 1/4 lb. and there was a difference in handling. The max. reading on the gauge we used was 30 lb. We ran around 13 to 14 lb range on both Goodyears and Hoosier.
Earlier with Firestones about 15 to 17 lb.
Admittedly different than street use
