Amazing what you learn.
I will need to make sure when we advise customers to be careful on the
air pressure.
I have heard of people running 55 psi on some and questioned it.
May be the air gauge need to be calibrated. Since we have several
gages, we find out if one is off, but never absolutely sure.




Yes I learned that 5-6 PSI too high will make a drastic change in handling.65 PSI seems just right for us. Also I thought maybe it was me imagining the difference also, but Steve drove it and had a similar experience. He can't believe the difference also. The new BFG Commercial T/A tires are MUCH smoother with a better ride than the Steel Sidewall Michelin XPS. I was tempted to buy Cheap $100 Chinese tires but I had a Little JimK on my shoulder telling to "Stay away from those Damn chinese and Korean tires...Buy American!" Laughing
