alignment

[Stephen D Stierman]

This matches my experience also.  I tried running lower pressures than 30 psi and found handling to be rather frightening.  In terms of tire wear, keep in mind these tires are all bias ply type and if you think back to the 1960's when this sort of tire was the norm, you really never got much more than 12 or 15 K out of them.  We all are used to radials which now last much much longer.Steve TC2911 [b]From:[/b] "Tim Bloomfield ferricsteed@yahoo.com [mg-tabc]" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> [b]To:[/b] "mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com>; "mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com" mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com>; Jean Vignau jeanvignau@orange.fr> [b]Sent:[/b] Thursday, September 21, 2017 10:06 PM [b]Subject:[/b] Re: [mg-tabc] alignment   I run 30 to 32 psi.  The middle of the tires shows the most wear.  This has been the case for the last three sets of tires.  I was running Firestones, now a mix of Excelsiors and Firestones since Firestones have become unavailable.  I plan to drop the pressure to 28 psi to even out the wear across the tires.  Any lower pressure and the ride gets sqeamish. This is a TB that is driven many times a week including Interstate travel at 60 to 65 mph to not block traffic. My only comment is the tires do not last nearly as long as any other vehicle.  I just assume this is due to the manufacturers' of these vintage tires so my expectations are low.Tim BloomfieldTB0613 Louisiana Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
