Re: [ST] for george - Tire Pressure on a Rear

Don:
I don't want to start a new/old thread on what pressure is best, but I just
don't agree with your logic.  If I put 42psi in the rear, won't I be causing
the tire to be more rounded, less contact with the road?  And vice versa:
less pressure, more contact with the road?

Again, I'm just trying to use the rubber remaining on a worn out tire for
two weeks more.
