[Mg-t] 54 TF radial tire pressure?

[Howard Battan]

Thanks, everyone, for your tire pressure recommendations. I think I have 
been running mine at 26 front & rear. I assumed the reason for the specified 
18 psi was due to the bias tires, and maybe the patchy old British roads. 
I'll give Lawrie's 24F/26R a try.

And Gene, the rims on the car now are modern chrome rims made for tubeless 
tires, so I should be safe running without tubes, but thanks for the 
heads-up.

Howard
