Todd comes closest to answering my question, he is doing generally what I am
asking about.
I am in Oklahoma, this winter provided the second opportunity to shovel snow
in 5 years, and then kept snowing.
The local authorities are completely unable to plan for a snowy winter
because if they buy salt and try to stockpile it, it gets rained on and goes
to waste, and if they don't, it snows like heck.
Either way someone is up their B*** about doing it wrong.
If heat is the main problem then I think I am all right, we had 8" of snow
and a warming, the roads were clear where they were not hardpac ice, the
temp hovered around 30deg, 18 to 20 at night 32+ days.
I drove around for a couple of Hrs and thou the beast is not easy to drive
at 15 psi, it gets a lot better traction.
When I checked the tires I had no heat build up, they were in fact cold.
I would tend to agree with Lou, were it not for the fact that it is 45 min
both ways, and may change back and forth 4 or 5 times in a week ( If you
don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a minute! no kidding).
I understand in Radials that you can't run them low, due to the inability of
the belts to change shape to the lower psi, and the tenancy of them then, to
separate, ( why the ford people did not know this is anyone's guess, any
poor kid who has lived on used tires learns it the hard way).
Anyone else have real experience with the Std Mil tires on an M35, and the
low pressure question?
