I have a 1993 Dodge Dakota pickup that has the same size tires all around, but calls for the fronts to be inflated to 5 PSI less than the rears. This is the first, and only, vehicle I have owned that did
that.
That makes sense - if you're loaded to the hilt, you'd need additional
tire pressure to help support the weight.
Speaking of which (maybe this should go to AUTOMOTIVE?) I read an
interesting article. I've had the past few sets of high-mileage tires wear out on the outer edges. I thought it was alignment, then realized both inner and outer edges were worn. I kept the tires at the recommended pressure. Apparently the recommended pressure is intended for a fully-loaded vehicle. Driving solo under-loads the tires. I started inflating them a couple of PAI higher and got better life from the tires.
