I'm not really digesting all this....very well.</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Considering the original published pressures are not 100% applicable over 40+ years later. Tire material , manufacturing and tread patterns have evolved. It's come down to what do you want the car to do? Go for a Sunday ice cream, autocross , road race or daily driver. </p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Lots of air pressure crowns the tread which improves fuel economy and reduces the side wall flex in aggressive cornering , also gives a "stuffer" feeling ride. </p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Lower pressures increase the "contact patch" of the tire and cushion the ride a bit. </p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">On tire wear lots of pressure prematurely wears the center of the tire tread. Lower pressure will wear heavily on the outer edges of the tire tread. <a href="http:// .th"> .th</a>e happy medium presdure between the extremes will provide a uniform tread wear. </p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">And then just when you thought....you figured it out....the A-B-C ratings for tread wear & traction are enough to drive an individual nutz. </p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Wheel lug torque is very dependant on the stud's size and wheel . Try to never exceed the recommended torque. .snapping or stripping a stud is an unplesant place to be!</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Overtightening these little 3/8" stud's can lead to literal striping of the threads with little effort....be carefull!</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Guys with impact guns can overtighten to the point of getting them stripped and so hot , the nut can weld itself onto The stud. Just wait until that wheel needs to come off .</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">So what presdure? I dunno.</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">How tight? Just enough...</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Chuck</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">"Been there....broke that....fixed it....broke it again....fixed it again...."</p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br></p><div id="SignatureBox" dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Sent from my LG Mobile</div></div>
