Northwest Iowa
When he told me to run like this I thought it was silly. But. we were always chasing the perfect margin before by running 100% and going out and checking sidewalls to see if we were running too much pressure. Running 100% contact you might have 50 pounds margin or you might have 500 pounds margin. No way to tell from the cab how far over you are. Run at so it ticks between 98, 99, 100 contact all day and you know you are at the sweet spot. Probably a stupid way to run but it works for me.
