RE: [A/S] Metal Valve Stems
The big difference is 1979 vs 2004. The older A/Ss were lighter and
therefore had lighter wheel loading and therefore less pressure is needed.
Your 2004, 25 Safari according the A/S has a gross weight of 6300 or 500lbs
more than Bills 1979 23footer. Are you sure about having ST205/75/R15
tires? According to the A/S literature, both the 25 and the 25SS have
ST225/75R15 tires and that would make more since as the ST205/75R15 tire is
NOT available in a D range tire and the MAX pressure on the C range
ST205/75R15 is 50PSI. There is a D range available in the ST225/75R14 tire,
but other than the 16' Bambi, I don't think A/S is using 14" wheel anyway.
