Not sure where to put this. Was checking some instructions on the IBS and this video popped up.

Great LC action in the beginning.

Confession ..... I really don't mind losing to a Hellcat.

I would question whether it is a real Hellcat or not.

Agreed. An equal number question whether or not I drive a real Toyota.

Tire balancing question.

I had my tires rotated and balanced. The shop set the air pressure at 29 psi front and 32 psi rear.

I moved the air pressure to 45 psi front and rear and it made a big difference. The question is, do I need the tires balanced again at 45 psi?

These sidewalls are very stiff. When deflated they barely appear to have lost any air.

Thank you.

It depends, when airing up did you put more air on the valve stem side of the tire or did you make sure to fill them evenly?
Of course I'm just being a smart ass.

Funny. I did right after the blinker fluid change.

I just know the 29 to 45 made a world of difference on these tall skinny tires.

These tires have less than 5000 miles on them.

Maybe rotate and balance again since I bought the free unlimited package from discount tire.

Are you getting any shake at higher speeds that you didnt have before? If not I wouldnt worry about it until its time to rotate.

I have body shake that did not go away when balanced. Looks like the ARB bumper is moving. I think I need new shocks.

Tracks straight. No steering wheel shake at all.

In regard to tire pressure, I generally chalk a set of tires when I get them and then again about 15K or so in and run the pressure that the chalking process provides. 45 lbs is what I ran in my 33" KM2s, have not chalked the new KO2s yet, running at 45 lbs until I do and they feel great.

I had some vibrations between 60 and 80mph. My shocks were bad and allowed the axle to jump on the small road imperfections. After replacing shocks front and rear, the Cruiser drives smooth.

Tire pressure should not affect the balance. I'm not sure why the tire shop would have put more in the rear than in the front. I usually do them all the same unless I am towing and then I'll put a tad more in the rear.

Not sure what tire you are running but 45 lbs is a lot of pressure, even for an LT tire. I would be afraid they would wear down the center if you run them at that high of pressure long term. I usually run 32 to 35 lbs in all my truck tires.

These are KM2's and the sidewalls are really stiff. The high pressure keeps the tread flat on the road. The lower pressure, the steering was hard and the truck would wallow at 70 mph.

My Overland Coffee shirt I got from them in Flagstaff AZ

Just heard on the morning news that opioids take more lives annually in this country than car accidents or guns.

I'm with @roadstr6 and @NCFJ on this. Chalk them to find what the right pressure is, 45 seems high - but chalk will tell you. I run load range E on my Creampuff and 32-35 is where they need to be; 45 would be brutal.

 

[weejub]

Wow 45 psi - - I need to try this chalk thing
