Yeah, for most tires that works. But with 8" wheels and 35 psi and the bigger tires it causes the middle to be raised up and not ride flat on the tread and will cause the middle to wear out fast. I think I got my front tires running pretty flat with 28 psi. But with 25 psi my rear tires don't seem to be completely on the pavement. I can still see that the edges are still off the pavement some.
