Damn, you got me!  Ok, I didn't mean "a couple" literally - more like 8 to
10.

Who was it that said (on this thread) that it's not incorrect pressures
that give poor performance, but an incorrect difference between the
pressures on the front and the pressures on the rear?  I hadn't heard that
before, but now I think about it, it makes sense.

Wow, 2 psi made that much difference?  We *all* get at least that
much every day, from temperature changes!
