Is this what you guys use for around town?

I like the firmness. However, if your tires are unbalanced and your front end is unaligned, you'll know it immediately.   Peter Healey (Peterh) New Member Username: Peterh Post Number: 11 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 04:52 pm:    Can I put less pressure in and get a smoother ride? Something like 30/30? Is this dangerous, something like the Ford Explorer problems of underinflation? How low is too low? -peter   p (Pfb) New Member Username: Pfb Post Number: 33 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 06:52 pm:    > However, if your ...front end is unaligned, you'll know it immediately. Pretty sure D1's have non adjustable front ends. No alignment adjustments can be done other than toe-in.   noel Bond (93dico) Member Username: 93dico Post Number: 53 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 07:49 pm:    Peter, Put less pressure in your tyres and do normal running around town and you will. Increase shoulder wear , Increase fuel consumption , Increase sluggishness in the steering , and genuinely have a shit day. Noel
