[Mg-t] 54 TF radial tire pressure?

[Mike Eldred]

Howard,

I keep the tires on my '54 TF at 26 to 28 psi, on the original steel
rims/tubes/tires (well, the tires and tubes aren't original, but you know what
I mean).  Handles better and offers a better ride, as far as I'm concerned.
I can't imagine why Abingdon recommended 18 psi, unless it had something to do
with Britain's road conditions or tire quality in the 1950's.
Cheers,
