[Mg-t] 54 TF radial tire pressure?

[Lawrie@Britcars]

Howard,

Since radial tires have more flexible sidewalls than bias ply tires, more 
pressure is necessary to make the most of their characteristics. In the 
course of my many years in the business, I have found that 24 front, 26 rear 
works very well on TDs and TFs with radial tires.
