So I have T1R's and the max cold inflation pressure is 44psi.
Right now I have it at 42/40.
The car is LOADED with pretty much everything I own. Is it worth it to bump it up the extra 2 psi, or should I not bother?

Thats what I used to run with the T1's......
You will be very surprised how many niles you can get out of them:):):)
Keep the pressure there;)

I'm actaully dissapointed with the miles on these tires. I've had them one season (this is the second) and I'm about 1mm off the wear bar.
Maybe 4 AutoX on them. Not enough to wear them down that much. Mostly highway driving.

Really???
I never used them on the track but I put about 20K on mine & they still had 8/32 left when I got rid of them......

Why do you run the pressure so high? I think you're mistaking max tire pressure for normal operating pressure. Your tire spring rate goes up with such a high pressure and your ride on a tire with stiff sidewalls is crap. Turn in must be nice but not worth it for all the other compromises.

I like it stiff. MPG goes up as well
