Firestone had a tech bulletin ob Radials, the tires on a deuce are bias-ply,
so you can run em at low pressure when needed.
The question is, what happens when you push your luck.
I know it runs down the mpg and takes more power to just move around, but
what about real damage, if any?
I ran all over the country last weekend and never warmed one up, but I still
don't know want to look for in damage.

It takes 45 min to change the pressure in all of the tires, so I'm inclined
to leave em alone until it warms back up.
Can I getaway with it?
