Speaking of tires...
I have Michelin XZX's on my TR-3A ($48 at the local Costco). The book calls for
30 lbs pressure on the rears, and only 24 lbs on the fronts. This seems quite a
disparity to me; do the fronts really have to be that soft? Has anybody had any
success running the fronts a tad fuller?
Thanks,
Dennis
61 TR-3A TS77028L...no O...yet.
