Yeah, I need to increase my air pressure in my tires too. Mine are low for 315s and 275s. There is an air pump, but I don't have 5 quarters for it.

I'm getting two new front tires installed Saturday and road force balanced. I have the same vibration at around 70mph. Will report back.

i bought a small lightweight airpump that plugs into the cig lighter, and keep it in the cargo area under the net. best $10 i ever spent.

I got 34 PSI up front, 32 in the back (as per o/b PSI monitor) and no vibration here...im going to up it once it gets colder since the air tends to thin then....

Got a link to the airpump? I might consider it.

Vred's are Summer Only, not to be driven @ below 40 degrees.

Those are a heck of a lot more. Thanks though! I'd probably take the Continental one for $40.

where did you get the 40 degrees info? I'm planning to drive mine year around anyway. In Texas I don't have to worry about snow or ice, but it does get below 40.

Read a magazine today I got from TireRack. I'm sure it's just a scare tactic, but I've seen how summer tires are first hand during the fall.
