Default Re: tire pressure

I think it depends somewhat on the model. The coupes and pickups are light and 34# seems about right. In my ‘28 Leatherback I experimented with 35 all around and found the car oversteered on mild to sharp corners. That is, the back end felt like it wanted to break loose. So I dropped the fronts to 34 and raised the back to 38 and the car was much more comfortable in turns. Your experience may vary, of course, but the heavier sedans seem to do better with more pressure in the rear tires.
