I just run my tires at 20 psi and never have chicken strips.

 

Is that even safe? doesn't you tire just flop over?

 

I'm hoping it was sarcasm or trolling... but for the benefit of the doubt, maybe some tires don't mind that as much as others?

What tires are you running Cman9toes?

 

Sorry, I should have used more smilies to implie my sarcasism. Did not mean to ruffle feathers. I was just mocking the idea of not having chicken strips.

My bike has them because there is no way in the world I would even try to ride that hard around town and I don't get to go to the track.

 

Oh and on a side note bike tires are fairly stiff even with zero air. I had the misfortune of picking up several nails unknowingly and lost air at a slow rate that I did not notice at first. About 2 miles from work is when I noticed the loss and limped into work (fearing the tire might come off the rim). 1000 miles and two plugs and the tire is fine.

 

Ah man, I just let all the air out of my tires too. So you weren't being serious? That's totally bogus...

 

My coworkers were impressed by the lack of them and the fact I made to work on the flat.

It handled really well too. Gripped the road like a 300 conversion.

 

wow , that reminds me of how exited i was to get my 900RR running after buying it not running, i jumped on it and clicked the gears up the road and almost dumped it on the first corner. yes -----8 lbs of air . i felt stupid as ****. lesson learned, always check the air pressure before riding, especially on a new-to-you bike.peace

 

Ya, I have become air check **** because that experience. I have a nice/accurate air gauge that I keep in my tank bag so I can check often.

 

Iīm running some Maxxis Supermaxx Sport tires at 34/36 and I donīt have strips but I have some pretty good mountain roads to heat them up properly

Being said that, I donīt care about them and the only reason I donīt have them know is because the tires are new and i had to remove that nasty rubber mold they all come with.

The lack of strips on the street only show your bad riding form...
