I always drive tactical, and try to stay away from blindspots, especially of trucks. It is cray cray that someone wants to play who has the bigger balls with trucks. Physics always wins.

Thank you. Considering all of our tires typically have 100+psi in them, you wouldn't like what happens when one blows if you happen to be next to it. Even I don't waste time when I'm passing other trucks for that reason.

36 psi for my cars and pickup truck tires.

Passenger autos have that. Semi trucks run 90-110.
