The guy that had that car for 20k miles, he was running his at 45 psi in the front as well??
Yup.

I just remembered that sold this exact setup to a guy in Florida about a month ago. I don't remember his username but Matt from FSP knows him. He put the wheels on. This guy is daily driving them. He did ask about the pressures. I told him what u told you. As far as I know he is trouble free.

Here's another option for you, if the high tire pressure doesn't work. 28.5" tall radial, and it says it will fit 4.5-5.0 wide rims. That's a pretty narrow range, I'm sure a 4.0 wheel would work. The only bummer....it's a "tube" tire. But it may be worth a shot!!!

I run tubes in the rears. No problems. I really don't have a choice though with the tires being screwed to the wheels. I would have no issues running tubed fronts.

Yeah, I don't know. I suppose someone could call Coker and ask that question. But here's what they say about it:

• The world's first line of radial tires offered in sizes and styles to replace popular bias ply profiles
• Made in the USA
• DOT and ECE (European Community) approved
• Improved handling and ride quality over bias ply tires
• Great for Big-N-Little combos
• Combine with our Hot Rod Steel or Hot Rod Wire wheels

Makes me think they must have some sort of decent speed rating.

That is an interesting choice. Thank you for posting that link. If the air pressure trick doesn't work, I will go this route :-)

I guess the only real drawback would be no TPMS capability, but if it works, I suppose I could probably get over that.

We fixed the TPM issues :-) we have the plastic pipe bomb trick going on!
Monitors inside of plastic tubes and inside trunk. Would be no issues!

I am very happy to know I have 2 possibilities to get this fixed yet!!

I tried the pipe bomb didn't think it worked, might try again what pressure are you ruining in pipe TPMS bomb. I know this is an old post just a shot in the dark....
