That is often not the case. When going around a curve the tires on the outside of the curve will have a higher load than the tires on the inside of the curve. A tire that hits a bump (especially a chuck hole) will momentarily have a higher load than normal. When braking heavily the load on the front tires will increase significantly. <br /><br />Will your suggestion of 15% above minimum take care of these conditions?<br /><br />Signed Anonymous due to lack of choices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-52935040458853147412015-10-13T11:44:53.633-07:002015-10-13T11:44:53.633-07:00Tommy, That's not an unreasonable approach.Tommy, That's not an unreasonable approach.Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-13410034434135410782015-10-10T06:10:08.510-07:002015-10-10T06:10:08.510-07:00A lot of this 'tire-speak' makes my head s...A lot of this 'tire-speak' makes my head spin. So, I read the side wall, find the suggested air pressure for the tire, and pump it in until my tire gauge and the side wall agree.
