<VV> tire pressure

[Ron]

There's no reason why a radial should be at a higher pressure than a bias 
tire and the factory recommended pressure of 28 psi is just fine unless 
you're going to load a thousand pounds or more, which I occasionally do in 
mine.  Then I raise the pressure to 35 psi but see no reason to go to a 
tire's maximum allowable pressure unless the tire is being loaded to it's 
maximun allowable.  My '63 Rampside is usually lightly loaded if at all so 
the 28 psi is just fine for normal use which includes parades where it is 
very popular.  I've run it this way for 17 years with no tire or wheel 
problems.
