So ive been told and from what ive seen, if you keep your tires too low like that It ruins the side wall. If you look at it the sidewall at 35 PSI its squooshed. Air it up to 60 PSI and you'll see a diff.

It depends on the tire. I run my swampers at 35 psi to get even treadwear unloaded, and their max PSI is 80

Thats where I was going with my last post. Also, It's good to hear your driving safely WHEN you have your son in the truck. Just keep in mind, there are others who are driving with there sons/daughters when your not. I'm not trying to preach, I just wanna feel safe when I'm driving with my Family. That sidewall punctur looked pretty nasty!!! Any ex-girlfriends you haven't told use about? hint hint.
