No no nooooo! Most of my friend's back in Oregon were "Schwabies" who worked at Les Schwab Tires, big huge west coast tire retailer. Anyway, keep them at the recommended PSI and make sure you maintain it. Over inflating is asking for trouble, and it will cause the tires to wear all messed up. I dunno what passenger tires run, but my truck is $200 a tire. No small change to maybe save on gas.
