Curious what others are running.
I'm currently running 165 X 15 XZX radials on a '67 2-door sedan for highway driving.
I'm trying to get the most of each gallon.
thanks

I take inspiration from the now departed Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and push the envelope at around 80psi. Its a heck of alot of fun when each pothole is a game of Russian roulette!










I am kidding. But the passages in F&LinLV are pretty funny.

For gas mileage purposes, it's a no-brainer... inflate the tires to the maximum rated pressure listed on the sidewall (or even more, if you're feeling brave). Please note however, these will NOT be the optimum pressures for ride, or handling, or tire wear, or wet/dry traction, etc.

I run 30 - 32, which seems to be about the sweet spot between good mileage, evenness of wear and ride harshness. That with Duration 165x65's.
