Hi Listers,
Okay, I realise this seems like a dumb question, but
what tyre (tire) pressures would you guys recommend
for:
Chrome Bumper B roadster, 72-spoke chrome wire wheels,
5.5" wide by 14" dia., fitted with GoodYear Regatta
Radials - 185 x 70 x R14

Since fitting the new wheels, everything was fine
until venturing out onto the freeway. Then the car
turned into a squirming bowl of custard with major
understeer. The tyre (tire) fitting place put about 32
PSI in all of them and I'm thinking maybe that's a
little too much. But the steering is wonderfully
light.

I know I should follow Mr Gaylord's advice and spend a
day with the white shoe polish and evicting all the
kids from the local playground to find the exact
pressure, but I'm just wondering if anyone has a quick
fix.

I'm going to try taking the pressures down to 28 rear
and 25 front tomorrow to see how that goes.

Thanks muchly,
 James Harwood
