    Keep around 26-27 psi. Any harder and they ride pretty rough to me. 2100 pound car.

  10. Weight of vehicle and suspension will determine air pressure for ride and handling

    When I worked for Firestone in the early 70's we ran 26/28 in the bias car tires at the ti^^e. Extra air won't ^^ake the^^ round it just ^^s the^^ ride harder and wears the center out quicker.
