You want to try that post again without starting like a jackass?

Also, the post you quoted me on wasn't even directed at you. 🤷‍♂️
Apologies if I misread your post, it certainly appeared that way. You were quoting from TonyT930 who was having a dig at me. So who was cringe worthy?

Btw, did you know that Tesla Model 3 of similar weight runs 42 psi cold? It helps with rolling resistance for them iirc.
Yes, I am aware of the Tesla pressures, your memory is correct, it is to decrease rolling resistance. In my experience they ride like a steel wheeled buggy. They also run on the maximum allowable rim widths to stretch the tyre out to compensate for the increased pressure. If you look at the Tesla forums, many owners are dropping to 40 or below to try and improve the ride. If they don't drop too low it shouldn't be a huge issue. The other thing to consider with a Tesla is the suspension; I believe they all run adaptive air suspension, primarily to try and recover some ride quality, which is far more complicated than a Mustang. The suspension is also designed to work with a weight distribution much lower relative to the wheel centre. Obviously much of the weight is much lower in a Tesla than in an ICE car, such as the Mustang.
