<VV> Tire size vs air pressure survey

[Paul Fox]

Of course you are correct provided you use what the car came with from the factory. But if you make any changes which most of us do. I would make sure you talk to the experts to see which if any changes need to be made in pressure. Like I say there are many variables.  
Sorry didn't mean to start a flame war.

I just had new 185/80s put on last night. I expect the tire shop put 32lbs in all. I'll check. However, I did notice that the outer edges of the front tires showed no road contact - no dirt / white dust on the outer edges, center contact only. Rode a little stiff up front too. I'll check them and drop front pressure and see what happens. 

Thanks,
