[DeTomaso] Tire Pressure

[Charles Engles]

Dear Mike and MZ,


               If you have modern V rated Toyos in front and the P7s in the rear then your situation more closely approximates my old dilemma.    If you have the V rated Toyos in front then I would start with normal tire pressures,  proceed to drive and expecting the P7s to quit first then slowly &  incrementally inflate the P7s until you perceive satisfactory handling.   

              It might be easy,  Chuck Engles

    Not a stupid question, but it does not have a simple answer. It looks like you have "good" Pirelli P7s (likely) in the rear and less good, much lower speed rated Toyos in the front.



  Uh....he said he has Pirelli P7s in the back, which were pretty good back in their late '70s day, and are marginal by today's standards, and brand new V-rated Toyos in the front, which are among the best tires made by any brand, at any time in history....
