[AT] OT truck tires/driveshaft?

[Jeff & Ginny Pomije]

Can't speak to the vibration, but tires show the max PSI that they can 
handle.  That is not the same as what is recommended by the vehicle 
maker.  Usually on the driver's door frame of vehicles is a tag that 
gives the recommended tire pressure for that vehicle.
