Hey..that goes along with an old sube. if it works in an airplane...

the air stuff is simple, max it till its uncomfortbale, you maxxed the tire then for your location.
Yesterday, I puffed back up to 40psi...frosty morning today, now the green leafed
60s of spring approaching mid day. That is as complicated as a tire gets.

the night before the big canuckian sink hole, my tires pounced 3 of my 4 tires to 20psi...and they are the best treads I have ever encountered (nokian 1). My car does this with micronical resonance.. it is hardly a mystery. If the car was squishy failing wiggling (ya know OEM).. the treads would go along for the ride. But no. I am crazy about squeaks creaks rattles moans and groans and a false impression that a car is tough. I welded till it was...by my own standard...and that has expenses. It needs tough everything now.

The chinese stuff is not true, even my dad goes for those on his rig. I am in rally crazy mig welder realm, so I seek tires from people who give a *hit about making them. CXhinese does have its benefits... remember, they are forced to pass world standards. they cannot get away with much anymore...unless we speak of electronics..but that is another subject.
