> I run 19 front/27 rear, just like the glovebox sticker says.
> 165/80 tires on a '72 Super. Several months ago I had the front end on my '74 standard aligned at a VW shop which has been in business for something like 30 years. Driving the bug afterwards I felt that the front end stability was a bit off, but put that down to the alignment. After several days of this I finally got around to checking the tire pressure (165s, radials) where I was suprised to find that all the tires were now at 32 psi. Made me wonder is someone goofed, or the higher pressure is some new recommendation. But I still adjusted the pressure back to values which are closer to the recommended ones. |

You're just > messing with me. > > first of all trim your quotes you amateur...second i was ****ing ASE certified in suspension systems....ever done that? if not i doubt anyone wasted the time or money to have engineers from Mohawk(Yokohama) come and give you classes concerning tires....i on the other hand *did* have those....you will NOT reduce the "volume of the container" (I.E. tire) by adding weight....if you do, you have already overloaded the tire weightwise, and the "point" is moot...tires, like every thing else are designed for use under certain conditions...go outside that and you may suffer a failure.....what adding weight has to do with your original claim that having 35psi in a tire is suicidal, i don't know...do you? thats right NOTHING.....just a spin to take the heat off you for being full of ****....didn't work, you are still full of ****...to drive the point home even more, the two reasons tires fail most are UNDERINFLATION and OVERLOADING....and they BOTH fail for the same reason....HINT: its not from being overpressurized....if you don't know what that reason is, i will gladly tell you, but the childish "i'm right cause i wanna be" **** you have been throwing out is getting tired....you are in over your head in this "discussion" so you should either bail while you can or admit it and try to actually learn something....the latter is the best so you don't spew wrong information on a worldwide forum again....the choice is yours.... |

Gain of nothing because it burst! At the moment before the burst, the pressure was higher than before. |
