Wear will be heavily on the middle. PSI depends more on the tire than saying 40psi is to high for on the road. I run mine at 45psi because they are mushrooms. Next time I will get a smaller sidewall. Hydroplaning, I would think there would be less chance of it as the contact patch would be smaller

Well so what? So what if it's true, and we could save that amount of oil by inflating our tires. Why does that in any way cancel the benefit of drilling for our own oil? In fact we're better off if we do both. Allan -- 1983 300D ___ http://www.okiebenz.com

Very true. Oil companies are exporting all our diesel, which drives up the cost of feedstock for BioD, since nobody can afford to transport, plant or harvest at a cost that allows the refiner to make the fuel. One of the Imperium Oil attorneys was dumped and ended up at SWMBA's firm.
