What kind of tires??? psi is highly variable based on the tire and the usage. Michelins, for instance, need higher psi or the sidewalls collapse. Other tires can be lower.

Almost all motorcycle tires say 40 some-odd for max pressure at max load - that's two up riding.

I've never heard of a Dunlop Maxxis. I've heard of Dunlops... and I've heard of Maxxis. (I used to run maxxis on my bmx bikes).

Maybe you're talking about the Dunlop Sportmax? Like the Qualifier or the Q2?
