<VV> Tire Pressures with Modern Tires

[Dale Dewald]

Hello Mike,

Similar situation: I have had a set of 205/70R14 Pirelli P4000's on my 
wife's '65 Monza since 1999.  They are also rated at 44psi max 
inflation.  I have run 28/40psi F/R with excellent results.  I have only 
increased the pressures to 30/44 for autocrossing.  Wear on these tires has 
been perfectly even.  I suggest that you stick with what you have been 
doing if the wear pattern and handling are acceptable.
