Tire pressures affect the wear pattern on tires. Something to consider
when looking at tire pressures. To much air, wears a tire in the middle.
To little and it wears on the edges. This is specific to the tire and
the load on it, so what is actually required can vary a great deal. My
van calls for something in the 40-50 psi range. The tires themselves are
marked for 65 PSI, so what does a fellow do??  I went with the pressure
printed on the tire - 65 PSI.
