The size of the tires or wheels means little; it depends entirely on how you 
drive the car & your pain tolerance. Road/track surfaces will dictate what 
works best. Generally, more pressure means more precision in the steering and 
handling, and a rougher ride..... but my wife also drives it and seems not to 
mind the better handling and rougher ride. On the street in our '72 L model, I 
run 32 psi in front and 36 in the rear. For road trips, I increase the pressures 
to 36 frt/40 rear and for open tracks, I've run as much as 45 frt/50 psi 
rear. Very high speeds need higher pressures; the surest way to fail a tire is to 
run it soft when going fast. Higher pressures increase handling noticably but 
driving home with things this high will cause your fillings to swap teeth.   
Good luck- J Deryke
