Sorry for the simplified analogy, but I am trying to get a better understanding of this. And, I think this is making sense to me.
you got it bob!
and from what moparburst is saying, because these are radials they shouldnt be run below 18 psi. so ill yield to his info and try the pressures from 222 to 18 if i can ever get to the track.
i ask when i go to price those goodyears i sent to you and see what the techs say
