Re: Tire Pressure
Posted by Tim Cole On 2013/3/24 10:09:43
The last blow out I had was on a steel belted radial tire with a 50,000 mile rating. It sounded like a cannon going off. I took my foot off the gas and coasted to a stop.
The left rear of the car was a mess. The year was 2007.
Another time I was next to a truck on the Turnpike when BANG! the inside tire next to me blew out. The driver didn't even notice and kept going.
I was looking at some 53 Chevy stuff and noticed they specified "Extra Low Pressure Tires" (?) Okay, so what does that mean? Below is a page from the owner's manual. It has some useful notes as to effects of tire pressures.
Also below is a page from the 55 Packard Manual. Low and behold - they are the same.
Hope this helps.
