Also note the pressures for the ECO4 rear tires when fully loaded? It says 49 PSI. If it's really unsafe for me to run my tires at 49 PSI, why would a manufacturer of the 2nd most common car in the UK that weights only 2,500 lbs recommend this? |
Now, now, you have to tell the whole story!! Notice also that the 2 tires listed for the ECO4 are completely different in tire size than the others listed. Why is that?
Obviously this is a different model and the tire sizing / pressure issue is only part of the story.
