You would need about 44 in the rear to be close to the OE load rating
and 40 in the front.

the O.E 235/50/18 @ 32psi is 1532 lbs
your 255/35/20 # 32 psi 1354 lbs
I dont have the 295/30 specs, but you can bet at 32psi its lower than 1354lbs

If you have ever looked at the Gentex temp and compass mirrors for your cars you might want to check this out. The group buy is also good for the mirror with the homelink in it. Just FYI. Regular price is $249 group price will be $160 shipped

Thanks for the link Scott, I registered there and I'm getting in on this too. $160 is too good of a price to pass up for the non-homelink one.

Well, I went to Muncie Dragway today and made 5 passes. In order:

12.045 @ 119.0
11.901 @ 118.9
11.945 @ 119.8
11.798 @ 119.6
11.747 @ 119.4

I had a track official tell me that my driver's side tire was coming off of the ground about 1/2"! Got faster and faster as I began to get used to the track. There is a private rental this coming Friday, if the weather holds up, hopefully I'll have another new personal best!

I see you completed our group buy Justin. I can't believe Tom is passing this deal up. He has about every other electronic gizmo on his car.

Great times Tom. I like the way you showed improvement with every run.

Shows you are really becoming a driver.



Guess who??? OLDBEACHBUMMACH1DUDE here. Been on the island for about 4 hours. It is 87 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. As the attached pics show. Very,very bumpy plane ride down. More than one barf bag in use today. I have to admit my palms were pretty clamy more than once today. Enough to make me think about driving the rental car home. Couple pics of the beach .
Scott


EDIT...don't seem to have the proper softwear on the wifes laptop to downsize the pics and post them. We will work on that. Sorry.

Last night was fun. Had a good time with the family. On the way home tho I had Officer friendly come zooming up behind be and escort me pretty much to my street, even past his jurisdiction. Kinda pissed me off. If I would not have had anything to drink I would of pulled over and asked him wtf his problem was. Oh well.
