<VV> Radial Tire Pressures

[J R Read_HML]

Interesting that this came up just now.

I've been running 32R and 24F for years.  (I carry some "stuff" in the trunk 
at all times).

I'm preparing for Cedar Rapids and decided to boost the pressures a bit 
because the sidewalls on these (nearly new) Hankook tires seem a bit too 
flexible to me.  I just pushed the pressures up to 34.5R and 24.5F two days 
ago.  Have not yet driven at those pressures as there are other items I need 
to attend to before leaving.

It is about a 4 hour drive to the convention.  I figure that I will know if 
I'm happy with the new pressures by the time I get there.  Max pressure 
rating on the Hankooks is 44psi.

BTW - this is on the vert.  The Rampy has the same pressure on all 4 
corners.

Later, JR
