Hi, Lee,
22lbs is an interesting number to be published - if you look in the original
TD factory manual, it says "It is of the utmost importance that the tyres be
carefully maintained at a constant pressure of 18lbs. per sq. in." !
I've always found that, with bias ply tires of the original size, 22lbs in
front and 24lbs in the rear gave the best combination of wear, handling and
ride. With radial tires of the size you are using, I recommend 24lbs in
front, 26lbs in the rear for general use. Add 4 lbs at each end if you are
going on a long, fast drive, and increase the differential from front to
rear to 4lbs if you are carrying a suitcase on a luggage rack (esp. the
low-mount rack.)
