No problem. Just that I figure this trip I might stay on 80 all
the way to 25 since I'll be heading in from way out left. That

inside the state line on 287.

Re: tire recommendations?
I think they mean the tire wheel combination weighs 80lbs. If you put 80psi
in those tires you'd have an explosion somewhere before you get to 80psi.
