You bring up a good point that I had not thought about but is very true.

If you are running 16" tires, it is 40 pounds all the way around, if 18' tires around 37 or 38 pounds.
26 pounds will give you terrible gas mileage and wear out your tires way too soon.
I am sorry you feel that way Mike, please find where I suggested they should run 26 psi.

I am not sure what you mean when you say you are sorry I feel that way. There is nothing to be sorry about other then you are giving bad information.

What is there to mis-read, both 26 and 32 are way to low for normal street driving.

32 is in no way too low, nearly everyone I work with does 32 or 33 all around. Might cause a BIT more wear, but much more comfortable ride.

I would not suggest anyone run 26, that's why I didn't suggest anyone run 26.

I know haha, that's what I run. I don't suggest anyone else do it. I run load range E tires that don't really deform at all so I run a low pressure. I also go off road about half the time and never drive the Rover long distances, I run 26 because it works for me, but I wouldn't suggest it to anyone on here.

My owners manual states 28psi front and 38psi rear. I've been running 32 front and 38 rear.

I run 65psi on the front right (battery is heavy), 55psi front left(I'm heavy), 22psi rear right(it just seems right), and 29.3psi on the rear left(because I can).

Please, NOBODY use this method!

No, seriously, I've run 32psi on all 4 since I bought it, and the tires seem to be wearing fine and ride is nice.
