I run them with 36 PSI front and 42 rear when the van is empty. When the front tires are overinflated, the outside edges of the tread have little traction and steering suffers. I also notice that the Yokos are a bit busy on the southern California rain-grooved concrete roads. They ride a lot better on plain old asphalt. Mike Snow 1982 Westfalia diesel |
