I'm sure he meant 90 for both tires! 45 for each. Just kidding but 90 seems way up there.

When I took my Chevrolet Lumina sedan to have the oil changed at a small oil change shop they indicated that I should have my transmission fluid flushed and replaced. I telephoned my father regarding this and he felt it was due for this so in this instance, I agreed with the shop. I heard the person working on the car muttering something about 'that is a lot of fluid' but thought nothing of it until I drove the car to work afterward. I came out after work to find a large amount of transmission fluid leaking from underneath the car, down behind it to the middle of the parking lot, and then down the street. Needless to say, I was furious and after checking the fluid level, found it was far above the full mark. In fact, the entire dipstick was covered in tramission fluid. Dad met me at the place I had the fluid flushed and he tore them a new one. It seems they looked in their book and just found Lumina. The Lumina APV. The minivan. The minivan that takes almost twice as much transmission fluid as my car. Dad had them lower the fluid level and then chewed them out some more. I am just fortunate that the overfilling didn't damage any gaskets or seals.gandolphxx said:My experience with JiffyLube is that the guy looks at the door label and behaves accordingly - I have to watch them like a hawk or the would put 80lbs in my rear tires - doah

? ? Disclaimer.... ?I am no TIRE EXPERT!!!!! Below is my $0.02...
? ? The first 150 miles at 22 psi probably didn't do any damage.... ?Unless you were do 100 MPH...... which I do not believe you did...
? ? As for running at 33 psi, again, I don't see a problem.. actually when I received my AV almost 3 weeks ago, one of the first things I did was change out the tire pressure from 30 psi to 37 psi... 25% increase. ?I perfer this ride better.... ?Stiffer is better for me....
? Is the tire going to wear out sooner? ?I don't care, as once these tires are worn out...Thats it for GoodYear!!! ?I do not like them...again, my opinion...so far these tires have been great ( 1500kms ) but I do not like the company period......
? Thus the only other thing I want to say is keep them at NO LESS than 30.... and no more than 44.... ?My wife's Montana is running at 40 psi... not 35 as per GM... again, stiffer ride...... ?H rate tire would be nice as well....
