Jerry,
Tire pressures are a compromise of tire wear, traction, comfort and
more. Those are just pressures that MG suggested for the tires originally
fitted to the cars. We think of them as minimums, however. Most drivers
agree that they are several pounds too low, and prefer 25/28 or so. You
can expermiment to see what fits your comfort and satisfaction level.
Just remember to keep the rear tires harder, as MG said.
Toe setting is a total. Chances are that that 1/8 was for the bias-ply
tires. If you are using radials, set to 1/16 or even 00, again depending
on the way you prefer it to feel.
