I've noticed that there seems to be a trend now toward modern radials for cars using a 44 PSI max. That's necessary for radials on big diameter wheels with almost no sidewall. That's to protect the sidewall and the wheel. Rides rougher than Hell. Milton Schick 1964 442 Cutlass [EMAIL PROTECT

I experimented with pressure till the tires wore straight across. Over inflate, the middle wears out; under inflate and its the edges. This turns out to be around 34 psi in the rear, 38 psi in the (more heavily loaded) front, varying some for each different car. The Toronado wants 40 in fro

I do tend to use temperature to determine tire pressure. Drive the car, check temp on 3 places across the tread. ie: hotter in the middle than on the edges indicates over inflation. Now for the observation trivia. I generally run 28 psi on all four corners. After sitting for 4 months, t

Thanks, Greg. I'm running ~24 psi with 78-14, but will be moving over to radials soon. That's why I thought I'd ask. - Original Message - From: Greg Beaulieu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, February 19, 2006 1:55 pm Subject: Re: Air pressure To: oldsmobile@che
