tire pressure

[Pete Masterson]

Interesting idea... but the road crown is rarely (if ever) evenly
centered under the coach (unless you're in the habit of driving down
the center of 2 lane roads), so running the inside duals with lower
pressure would not provide any benefit and is likely to simply cause
more load to shift to the outside tires.
