Opposed to some 30 year old who read something on a hypermiling forum? Also did you forget about the whole thing where I mentioned MY personal experience? Or did you just skim like most other posters here and just posted your belief about a given poster after said skimming?

Also, you aren't exactly reading what some "trained engineer" said because if you did, I'm pretty sure you'd hear a lot more than "overinflation and underinflation = more tire wear" and "inflate your tires to what your door jam says".. If anything that sounds like what the marketing team interpreted FROM the engineers...Kinda like what you'all been doing with me today! If anything what I've been saying is what you'd hear from an engineer. Engineers have facts and data to back up their conclusions, change a variable get a different conclusion. Marketing teams on the other hand are just taking a single conclusion from a single series of variables and spitting it out into a form that the masses (like you people) can understand and then regurgitate to others.

I on the other hand already understand most of the variables engineers have to work with, so I changed a few of them, and have come out with my own generalized conclusion that can be regurgitated to the masses. Want to hear it? Too bad, you get to anyway: "Inflate your tires to sidewall listed on the tire, if you've got a pickup, take 10psi off the sidewall rating from the rear tires if it's unloaded. If you find that your tires are wearing down the center, remove 2 psi from the tires incrementally until you find that your tires wear perfectly evenly."

Nobody cares about some engineers at a Korean automotive company that makes cars that can't achieve Prius and Insight levels of fuel economy on average.

You have no personal experience, you're 15. And those numbers aren't written by marketing, are you insane?

?

My former roommate and good friend is a newly hired engineer for Hyundai USA. he works in vehicle development and they have a wall with funny shit on it. After I first showed him fleabags posts he laughed so hard he started putting them on the wall. Now hes so popular he has his own corner. Someone even translated it into Korean for the KDM engineers, haha

Hahaha, awesome. I think fleabag is determined to keep those engineers amused.

What numbers? Numbers or suggestions? Marketing people suggest listening to the door jam, engineers make the numbers on the door jam. Believe it or not, those aren't the same thing. Windows XP says I need a Pentium II to install, it says it on the box, it says it on the Wiki, does that mean I all of a sudden CANNOT install it on a Pentium I? My Intel P4 says its clock speed is 2.8ghz, does that mean I cannot run it at 3.6ghz and not experience any adverse effects and only a net positive gain? Oh that's right, the latter is alright because you read an article on Anandtech assuring you that you can in fact overclock your computer! Again, incapable of knowing the facts and deducing a conclusion because you're incapable of doing so whether it be because you're stupid, ignorant, trolling, or too scared about "not fitting in".

Also, who said I was 15?

With one of those ideas, you burn out a $20 dollar processor, big deal. With what you're saying, you could possibly cause great harm to your self or the ones you care about very severely if done incorrectly.

You said you were 15, you act like one and you sound like one too. Don't bother to deny it.

Those "stupid Korean engineers" you talk about know more than you ever will about designing a vehicle. I wouldn't discount them in your shoes. If you think you can, design a car and we'll talk.

One of my ideas could hurt someone? How about the assholes who change out their headlights to HIDs? The ones adding lift kits to their vehicles? Or in the cheapest fashion, using wood blocks between the leaf spring and rear axle? Lowering their car? Changing out their shocks or spring? Using a blow torch on the springs to lower their car? Any sort of engine modifications! Replacing their braking system? Upgrading their calipers? Adding a bigger master cylinder? Or finally, not inflating their tires at all and waiting until they have a blowout before they do anything about it!

There are a lot of things more dangerous and risky than following my suggestion yet I'm pretty sure I've seen more people say that I'm an idiot for suggesting such a thing than I've seen for any other car modification suggestion being posted in any thread on any forum aside from the guy who put the NOS DRINK into the gas tank of his motorcycle which wasn't even a suggestion but an accident.

I would LOVE for you to find the quote where I specifically say I'm 15 years old. As for those stupid korean engineers, first off is their primary goal max fuel economy or trying to make a car that most people will buy? If it's the former, I disagree, I'm pretty sure I know more than them about that, if it's the latter, then I'd most certainly agree that they would know more than me about that.

edit: Also, that processor and many other processors were NOT $20 when they were brand new yet people overclock them all the time despite being fresh from their box. Let's bring up another idea...Overvolting your CPU and Video card! And not the simple I go into a program or the bios and overvolt my processor but solder on some wires and attach Variable resistors to them type of overvolting? Yeah I'm pretty sure the manufacturer doesn't recommend that either!

This coming from the guy that wanted to stick something in his gas tank to reduce fuel capacity.

You honestly think you know more about fuel economy than automotive engineers? You are absolutely deluded.

Yes, this IS coming from a guy who wanted to stick something in the gas tank to reduce fuel capacity but possibly improve fuel economy.
Automotive engineers or Hyundai automotive engineers? That's like I said "GM can't make a decent car if they tried, those executives are morons" and then you go on to say, "Are you saying automotive executives are morons?" See that's the problem, you people can't put two things together and when you do, you can't make any sense of it and just call me stupid.

We just call them as we see them. Anyways, it doesn't matter what automotive engineer you compare yourself to. The guy that designs doorhandles for Suzuki will have a better idea about fuel economy than you do.

The reason that everyone is convinced that you're a teenager is because you act like one. Most teenagers go through a phase where they are convinced that they know better than everyone else. If you aren't a teenager you never grew out of that phase.

Sounds like you're still in highschool though

50 minute essay tests is pretty standard for high school, much less so for college. It's not unheard of but not nearly as common.

No but you did say you would love fo me to find the quote where I conclusively prove that I'm not 15. Also who gives a shit, really. Whether I be 5 years old and have never been behind the wheel let alone SEEN a car before or a 55 year old guy who has worked at the good year factory for the past 30 years making tires, what we're arguing here is all that matters. My anecdotes about what I've experience or others' have experienced (what I've experience should be of more value since you can cross examine it), interspersed with facts like cars hydroplane less when they're overinflated than under-inflated or that the tire's ratings on the sidewall are based upon being inflated to another rating on its wall (its max COLD psi rating of 44psi, 51psi etc.) should be enough to convince you people. I think the worst part about all of this is that this isn't something I happened to discover on my own but a well known, tested theory supported by facts that weren't created through some studies but are inherent to automotive design, something that ALL VEHICLES ADHERE TO.

To put it succinctly, to figure out what kind of tire and inflation one wants on a car for a given application is not all that difficult. As I pointed out in another thread, if automotive engineers completely disregarded everything but safety, fuel economy and tire longevity, I can assure you that they'd have their tires at sidewall in the front and at near or a bit below sidewall in the rear, depending on whether or not the tires in the rear wear down the center when inflated to sidewall.

The goal for tire wear is completely even tire wear, and if I can achieve that only by inflating to sidewall and consequently have improved fuel economy, then why not? Also how about this? Instead of inflating tires until I have even tire wear, why not inflate tires until I either reach sidewall rating or just before I don't have even tire wear? Oh that's right, because AAA didn't recommend it and the Michelin website doesn't recommend it, therefore I shouldn't do it. Toyota's website also doesn't recommend a lot of things. Saturn's website doesn't recommend a Warm Air Intake, it doesn't recommend putting an under-body cover or anything, doesn't mean I shouldn't or can't do it.

The only dissenters I've seen reading and hearing of are those who haven't even tried this themselves...

Or in the cheapest fashion, using wood blocks between the leaf spring and rear axle? Lowering their car? Changing out their shocks or spring? Using a blow torch on the springs to lower their car? Any sort of engine modifications! Replacing their braking system? Upgrading their calipers? Adding a bigger master cylinder? Or finally, not inflating their tires at all and waiting until they have a blowout before they do anything about it!

This coming from the guy that wanted to stick something in his gas tank to reduce fuel capacity.

I would LOVE for you to find the quote where I specifically say I'm 15 years old. As for those stupid korean engineers, first off is their primary goal max fuel economy or trying to make a car that most people will buy? If it's the former, I disagree, I'm pretty sure I know more than them about that, if it's the latter, then I'd most certainly agree that they would know more than me about that.

You honestly think you know more about fuel economy than automotive engineers? You are absolutely deluded.
Yes, this IS coming from a guy who wanted to stick something in the gas tank to reduce fuel capacity but possibly improve fuel economy.
Automotive engineers or Hyundai automotive engineers? That's like I said "GM can't make a decent car if they tried, those executives are morons" and then you go on to say, "Are you saying automotive executives are morons?" See that's the problem, you people can't put two things together and when you do, you can't make any sense of it and just call me stupid.

I would LOVE for you to find the quote where you conclusively prove that you aren't.

Oh, well that's a whole 'nother thing, but yeah let's go back to the part where you prove I say that I'm 15 years old. I'm just dying to read the quote..

You're a fucking moron, thats all it is. Since we're at this, whats your education? What are your credentials? Why should we believe what you say? Because you read some BS on a forum and you think you know everything?

You don't own any automobile tires, so you have no experience at all.
