Can anyone butt in?
I am using 28 fr/31 r. This seems to give the proper differential f/r. I
used to use higher pressures because I liked the "quick turn-in" feel in
the steering, but found that the center of the tread wore out well before
the edges. This is with 175R14 Michelins.
YMMV depending on vehicle & spares weight and passenger load. I only
weigh 160 lbs. and usually drive alone (sigh). <g>
Eric is on the racetrack, I believe, where the higher pressures make
sense, and tire life is not really an issue.
