Say you're going on a long drive out station, here's something to make your drive smoother and a tad bit more safer. On normal city drives, your car tyres (Sedan) are filled to about min 28psi to a max of 35psi. But when you are about to drive long distances try to keep your tyre pressure at a minumum.
At high revolutions and high speeds, if you drive a tyre that's filled to max pressure the heat generated will cause it to spike up to another 1 or 2 psi, depending on how far you're driving. Thus making your tyre to be filled above it's pressure specification.
Of course before doing anything, please always check with your owner's manual. All pressure specifications are stated in there unless you've changed them, then please check with your local tyre man.
Drive safe!
