Outback wagon? If so, fold the seat, load as many bags as possible righ
behind the front seats, then work backwards. Sedan? Two on the rear floor
four on the rear seat and four in the back should do you. In either case
run *at least* your recommended pressures for high speed/full load. If i
was me, i'd probably put 36psi in the fronts and 40-42 in the rears
You're not in danger of exceeding your safe load limit unless you try an
fit 5 people in too :) Cheer

I need to transport 560 lbs. of cement in my 2000 Outback. Is it OK to
load up the back with that much and keep it loaded for 24 hours until
I get to the destination?  

I'm guessing it's OK becaus it's like having 3 good-sized adults in
the car, but I just want to be sure.
