Optimum Tire Pressures...
Hey guys I have a quick question about tire pressure. Ive always been a little lost on the subject, but just recently got into checking my tires as often as I should be. ( I definately need a better guage than the one I have though... cheap sucks lol). Anyways... I was wondering, what do you guys run? I know the lower the psi, the more traction/faster wear/somewhat less stability. The higher the psi just the opposite... I lowered my front and back to 35 today and seemed to grip WAY better on this cold pavement, but arent you supposed to run diff psi per front/back?
btw... I am currently running metz. sportec m1's. I do quite a bit of solo riding, but I also get quite a bit of 2 up experience. Should i put my pressure at optimum for solo and take it easy when 2 up, or should I adjust per condition?
thanks a lot for any help,
Chris

RE: Optimum Tire Pressures...
you should adjust based on what type of riding you do...yea i know ...lots of work so it sucks...but that's to get max wear and performce. if it's cold out...i wouldn't run high pressure. if it's warm out and you're commuting, i would.
for canyons and track, etc...drop the pressure...or do what shraz does and run something in between. i run my diablos up there like 38/36 and it's been real good, cold or warm...and in the twists...plenty o grip.

alrighty... right now my tires are sitting 35 rear and about 34 front... that sound good enough or should i drop the front another psi?
thanks for all the help guys... im noticing a huge gain in traction compared to where they were at... I might even be able to pop it up without my tire slipping or anything, lol j/k
take it easy,
Chris
