Subject:Re: Syncro tire pressure
From:Alistair Bell <albell@SHAW.CA>

Syncro weight dist is not rear heavy, it’s close to 50:50. But that doesn’t preclude rear bias related to how the van is loaded.

I think the front tire pressure being slightly lower than rear is mor to do with comfort and steering.

But I’m often proved wrong :-)
