I may have been unclear in my mail; sorry if so.
The tires presently on the car are rated 44 psi max - premium brand
guaranteed 80,000 miles
They are set at 41 psi front and 40 psi rear; 3 and 4 lbs below max.
Original equipment were Michelin and recommended to be set at 30 psi
With the present settings of 41 and 40 the car rides better and quieter.
I was hoping the computer could be changed so it would show the warning
when
the higher max tire pressure was exceeded.
