Default Re: TOYO Tire Failures Anyone?

Randy - It's Not MY car. Its my wife's; I couldn't keep up with minor maintenance on spouses car AND my car. Within 2 psi of recommended inflation pressure at 20% of MAX GVWR is NOT chronically underinflated. I run my Chevy Truck 2psi over on front and 1 psi UNDER on rear - given its NOT loaded to MAX GVWR. The tires are rated a TON (2K lb) above the max GVWR of the vehicle - which is Overspecified - which leads to MFG SPECIFIED UNDERINFLATION. A proper load specified tire for highway use should be inflated to a MIN of 31 psi.
