Almost as bad: All Tires Inflated to 80-PSI. Max for a front tire on a C is 70 (for the very latest ones, fully loaded to GAWR-F) and in most cases MUCH less, like 50-55-60-65. 80-PSI in front tires loaded to call for only 55-PSI makes for such a small contact pattern that control becomes VERY difficult.
Actually my placard reads 75 max for the fronts. I'm running them at 70 and I DO feel I could go lower. I haven't gotten it weighed since I loaded it, but I had 1k on the front and 1900 on the back as it rolled off the line w/ full fluids. I cannot imagine I put anywhere near 1k pounds on my front axle after all is said and done. I could probably roll at 65.
