<VV> Tire Pressure (Kinda Corvair content)

[J R Read_HML]

Recommended differential on Corvair cars is fronts to be 10psi less than 
rears.  Personally, I use 32 rear and 24 front.  I just don't feel 
comfortable with only 22 - seems like I might be asking for an air out on a 
tight turn.  Have not had that happen and don't want it to.

Tires list the MAX on the sidewall.  You might not like the ride feel at 
44psi.
