<VV> Tire Gage & Pressures

[mark at noakes.com]

Since the late 70s I've always run mine (when they had same size tires 
front and rear) 28 front/32 rear. Yes I carried stuff in the trunk, 
mostly spare parts and minimum tools just in case, so the front was 
heavier than usual but not that much, but I always liked a light touch. 
Picked up the preference autocrossing and adopted it for everyday driving.

Everyone has different preferences...
