Now that I've got new P165/80R15 radials (all weather, nothing fancy) on the (original steel disk) wheels, I wondered what tire pressure is recommended. Everyday driving up to 50mph, curving two-lane blacktop.
The tires were installed at 30 psi. The original bias ply tires were recommended at 18 psi.
I just took my first drive on the new tires at 30 psi. Just barely turning the steering wheel turns the car faster than I expect. Really sensitive steering, so I'm careful I don't oversteer. Would lowering the front tire pressure reduce that "oversteer" tendency - maybe 24 psi front, 26 psi rear is better for the TD (under 2000 lbs)?
Thoughts?
