Leon and Everyone,

What I was able to determine is these tires meet certain weight, speed,= and=20 temperature requirements only at a certain inflation. I was happy to f= ind=20 the 4% fudge factor for loaded tires, I've always wondered about that.

If you feel you want more pressure in your tires than the chart shows,=20= you=20 should upgrade to more plies.

The Goodyear literature says to figure the weight on the mains by=20 calculating at the rear CG at max gross weight, most forward CG for the nose= =20 wheel.

The mains are rated at 1,750 and the nose wheel at 1,285 so I don't thi= nk=20 we need to upgrade to the 8 ply tires.

The Goodyear literature also says you can't judge tire pressures by loo= king=20 at the tire!

So it sounds like 44 for the mains and 52 for the nose wheel would be=20 according to the book.
