This thing on tire pressure is laughable.
The pressure indicated in the owners manual and on the door jamb is the
correct pressure.
If your front suppension, rear suspension. shocks or steering gear is
worn out you get the driving like crap scenario.
I've been running the reccomend tire pressure on my Agilit 61s and it
handles great. It will wander exactly like the Ford van in front of me in
45 mile cross winds.
If you've opted for bigger tires .......... why?
