Hey, Joe. Now you are getting delusional guessing max tire pressures and
A$$uming that 32 PSI is MAX. In your "God like complex" state you can't
be serious.
32 PSI should not be a MAX number on any tire in this day
and age unless it's a race slick or something like that. Did you just wake up
from the 19 hundreds?
LOL Tyres...

From WordNet (r) 1.7 (wn)
Tyre n 1: a port in southern Lebanon on the Mediterranean Sea; formerly a major Phoenician seaport famous for
silks [syn: {Sur}, {Tyre}] 2: hoop that covers a wheel; "automobile tires are usually made of rubber and filled with
compressed air" [syn: {tire}]
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (easton)
Tyre a rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles, in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south
of Sidon. Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The commerce
of the whole world was gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. "Tyrian merchants were the first who ventured to
navigate the Mediterranean waters; and they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the
AEgean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in
Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)" (Driver's Isaiah). In the time of
David a friendly alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the Tyrians, who were long ruled over by
their native kings (2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Kings 5:1; 2 Chr. 2:3). Tyre consisted of two distinct parts, a rocky fortress on the
mainland, called "Old Tyre," and the city, built on a small, rocky island about half-a-mile distant from the
shore. It was a place of great strength. It was besieged by Shalmaneser, who was assisted by the Phoenicians of
the mainland, for five years, and by Nebuchadnezzar (B.C. 586-573) for thirteen years, apparently without
success. It afterwards fell under the power of Alexander the Great, after a siege of seven months, but continued to
maintain much of its commercial importance till the Christian era. It is referred to in Matt. 11:21 and Acts 12:20.
In A.D. 1291 it was taken by the Saracens, and has remained a desolate ruin ever since. "The purple dye of Tyre
had a worldwide celebrity on account of the durability of its beautiful tints, and its manufacture proved a source of
abundant wealth to the inhabitants of that city." Both Tyre and Sidon "were crowded with glass-shops, dyeing
and weaving establishments; and among their cunning workmen not the least important class were those who
were celebrated for the engraving of precious stones." (2 Chr. 2:7,14). The wickedness and idolatry of this city are
frequently denounced by the prophets, and its final destruction predicted (Isa. 23:1; Jer. 25:22; Ezek. 26; 28:1-19;
Amos 1:9, 10; Zech. 9:2-4). Here a church was founded soon after the death of Stephen, and Paul, on his return
from his third missionary journey spent a week in intercourse with the disciples there (Acts 21:4). Here the scene
at Miletus was repeated on his leaving them. They all, with their wives and children, accompanied him to the
sea-shore. The sea-voyage of the apostle terminated at Ptolemais, about 38 miles from Tyre. Thence he proceeded
to Caesarea (Acts 21:5-
. "It is noticed on monuments as early as B.C. 1500, and claiming, according to
Herodotus, to have been founded about B.C. 2700. It had two ports still existing, and was of commercial
importance in all ages, with colonies at Carthage (about B.C. 850) and all over the Mediterranean. It was often
attacked by Egypt and Assyria, and taken by Alexander the Great after a terrible siege in B.C. 332. It is now a
town of 3,000 inhabitants, with ancient tombs and a ruined cathedral. A short Phoenician text of the fourth
century B.C. is the only monument yet recovered."

29 front 27 rear sounds like half load recommended specs.
