RE: Good answers to tire pressure questions
David,
Yeah I agree, I believe sidewall deflection really is the key item to watch having done exactly that in the last two sets. I can't speak for the new Michelin set yet but on the other two sets I had, for every 10 degrees F of temp, I lost 6lbs of air at "cold" status. So, technically, if I set my pressure here in Florida at 85 degree's F, and drive to Michigan, where it is say, 60 degrees F, I just lost 15 lbs of air! ![]() ![]() FWIW anecdotal data, the new Michelin's ride SO SMOOTH AND SOFT, compared to my other brand, I thought they were under inflated and kept checking the pressures! ![]() ![]() FYI for those of you on 8.25's like me: http://fleetowner.com/question/proper-rim-size I had the same issues this fella had. When I went to try and buy other brands ( 4 different brands) from the guy I used to use, the computer told him I needed 9" rims??????? HUH??? He even called one of the brand reps and they said, yep we used to spec 12r's on 8.25 but we no longer do????? HUH??? SO finally I said the heck with it and went with Michelin who DO spec 12r's on 8.25........ Just relating my trials and tribulations, your experiences and decisions will differ! :-) Pete and Donna Chin 95 42' WLWB On The Road Always! :-) " We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing, Whiskey for my men, and beer for my horses!"-Toby Keith & Willie Nelson - The bridge from Toby Keith's title album track "beer for my horses" |
