Today in tire school, we'll start off by addressing some terms. First, what do we mean by the official tire pressure recommendation? It is not the numeral on the tire sidewall, because inflating to that number is a terrible idea.

We're so connected to our smartphones nowadays that even when they're charging, we feel the need to use them. I have a charging cable beside my living room couch so I can fuel my phone while I scroll social media and watch TV.
