Default Tire Pressure
The tire pressure on the side of my tires say inflate to 35psi. The manual of my 77 says front tires are to be at 20psi and rear at 26psi. Any suggestions?

I agree on the 22/28 makes a little softer ride.

Thanks guys. I did deflate the tires to 20 and 26 and thought that it was a better ride. Will probably inflate rear to 28. Thanks for the tip!
