[DeTomaso] Tire pressures, alternators

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

The difference in width roughly matches the difference in axle load. I run
the same pressure front and back on my 15" wheels with 225 and 295 width.
They haven't worn evenly but I've had two sets of front wheels that I
alternated between while only having one set of rears.

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.

unitl about 1500 rpm and then kicks out 75 amps, but if you are idling
around from stoplight to stoplight the battery is just draining.   I dont
see a regulator anywhere on the car, so I assume this alternator has it
built in.
