Tire temp +/- 3 psi is up to you. Comfort and MPG are factors but so are road conditions. Higher PSI helps protect your rims when hitting a pothole. We have some big ones in NJ and I prefer to keep my tires at factory setting + 3 psi. I never want to go below the minimum factory setting during the winter months.
