There was an interesting discussion about this, wherein the utterly scientific Mike Cuy (or somebudy) suggested you get down on your knees and look at the contact patch between the tire tread and the pavement to make sure you have just enough pressure in the tires so the entire tread engages the pavement. Me, I'm a numbers guy and want to read some digits on a scale.The 6.00x6's on 41CC are supposed to be at 28-30 psi and that's where I have them. PS to Corky: I added valve stem extensions from AutoZone to them and made some holes in the wheel covers to allow the extensions to be accessible without continually removing the wheel covers. Turned out pretty nice, if I may say so myself.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
