    The only thing that should suffer the death penalty here is calling a Tyre a Tire.



    the only time to run less than 35psi in a radial tyre is when you are on the drag strip or when you are on the beach....

    i agree - OR - if you are really up for the soft ride thing

    on my mk3 with 205/45 r16, i run 44psi front and 38 rear... when the tyre has embossed on the sidewall "max pressure 56psi" then i reckon ya pretty safe

    high pressure helps keep the tyre from peeling off the rim at under high cornering loads...

    Tire is the American english spelling, whilst tyre is british english. It's excusable IMHO, unlike brake vs break!

    I agree with break and brake, there's also loose and lose, both of which are becoming more of a crime daily.

    However, I tire of tire being used for tyre, for we are in a British English country, sir The Americans can keep their version...

    If you infer from this that I am implying American English is not wanted in Australia, you are correct. So there!
