I run MXT's on my syncro westy and have always put the recommended pressure
in them... 36-38 front and slightly higher in the rear.  But lately, just to
see what it would ride like I put 45 in all the way around.  I was amazed at
the improvement in the ride!  Have only driven in unloaded so far, but love
the difference.


Any opinions on this?
