Default Really pulling hard right...

then i get home and look at my tire and it's nearly flat! I was accustomed to SOME pull to the right, but this was crazy!! So after plugging the tire (yeah i know, no more 150mph jaunts) i was wondering what PSI everyone runs in their tires for longevity of the tire. I put about 32 PSI (cold) in mine. That about right?

I usually run 42 psi in the 315s in the back...and 38 psi in the 285s on the front. (both cold pressures) That's what gives me even treadwear.

on my 95, whatever the door sticker said (30 I think) caused the fronts to round off the edges. No problems after running 32 cold all around.
