Gary,
Thanks. I too am very much about the safety aspect of what I am doing.
TB,
I have read that site and what seems like a hundred others on this topic. I am/have done the legwork on this. Thank You for the link/thought.
Thanks Again Everyone, Jim
PS Everyone, I have researched and considered this very thoroughly. This is not something that Members should copy step for step. As I have said earlier... This is different for me based on my last set of tires vs this current set, as I am sure it will be different for anyone else.
TB,
I would say that yes, Yesterday, inflated to 48 psi cold my grip was less than optimal. I would further add that, this morning inflated to 46 psi cold was just about perfect. I will wait for warmer weather before I finalize my cold psi for this tire/load combo.
Jim-5,000 miles and your words.Average gas mileage is 18 mile per gallon.I am saying that isn't any that a good tune Astro hasn't achieved before without over inflating their tires.Just a matter of fact Jim.I do commend you on the tune you have on your van. =D>
