| Question for others running this tire, what cold PSI are you using? I noticed on my bus at 36-38 PSI (cold) I still have quite a bit of squish in the tire. Max cold says 44, just wanted to see what others are using. |

You're going to have "squish" on a radial tire vs a bias ply. It's caused by the radial construction |
