The book said my B-GT should run at 21F and 24R, but I always run it at
27F and 30R. The shocks are so soft, it can handle the extra pressure and
the handling is improved.
Many of the tire shops now put 35 psi all round in front wheel drives.
This is more important with low profile tires than with the old 78 or 80
series.
