Message	I just upgraded to 245-40-17's in the front and 275-35/18's in the rear. I am trying the Kuhmo MX's this time because of the lead time needed for the Eagle F1's right now. Anyway I am looking for starting tire pressures for both touring, and for the road track at PIR. I found a post that said "I'd suggest increasing the pressure by about 2-3 psi at the minimum" This would put me at ~35 front and 38 rear if this was stock. I am thinking that bumping up the front pressure a bit may help the wheel safety at a small expense in tire wear. Any further suggestions? Enjoy the Ride
