[DeTomaso] Tire pressures, alternators

I bought the car (last year) that way, so I'm not sure why... perhaps rubbing?
 
 
I kind of expected to see different pressures front and rear with the width and weight differences.   Anyone have enought miles on their rubber to see if they are wearing evenly?

why are the fronts so narrow?

I like 35 all around.  335/35/17 and 245/40/17

I used a 100 amp unit from Summit, it works fine.
