[DeTomaso] Tire pressure

[Dave Londry]

My rims are 10" front and 12" rear.
At 24 psi, centre-tread on the rears isn't even flat.
I wouldn't go less than 32 for fear of lifting a bead.
35 has given me even wear so far, but that's not been very far.
I might go to 40 rear short-term,  if I were trying to loosen up the 
back for some event.
