The way to tell if your radials are under inflated is to measure the temperature of the sidewalls after a 30 minute ride at highway speeds. If they are too hot to touch then they are under inflated. They should be warm but not hot.

Thanks nkaminar, I too have a "Heavy Fordor, a '30 Town Sedan. I will try increasing the pressure and see how it rides.
BTW a "heavy" Town Sedan is only ~245 ibs. more than a deluxe Coupe.
