Ladies and Gentlmen , may I remind you . That the National Tire Safety Assoc.,
simply states " Any tire that is 15% or under factory stated pressures are
regarded as a flat tire". And as you may or not know also that 85 % of all
drivers never check tire for proper pressures. And that persons with front wheel
drive are the most guilty of this condition as they normally cannot feel the
flat. I drive normally 35-40,000 per year and see more flats running at 60 miles
per than I care too.
My 2.785 p on tires.
