Re: The Truth About Tyre Pressure

its spelled tire

Slow straight wheelies low tire like 10psi but for the rest like circles from the guys I ride with like 20-25 psi is what they run. burn out too. thats my general input

Re: The Truth About Tyre Pressure

I just bumped my pressure from 30 front and rear to 38-40psi front and rear. I rode XDL and Stuntoberfest that way and I'm liking it more and more!

Re: The Truth About Tyre Pressure

For burnouts you would prolly want a high tire pressure. Less surface contact = less grip = easier to break loose.

Re: The Truth About Tyre Pressure

damn, I run 21, but i'm no pro. Everytime I rock anything with more than 25 psi the bike is all over the place.

Re: The Truth About Tyre Pressure

I run 27 psi in rear...I think it is a good median pressure. The more pressure you use the easier it is to dip into circles, easier they are to correct and to stay in the circle. Less pressure is harder to dip in, have to use more body and bars to correct, and harder to keep in the circle...but it is easier to get hc and spreaders on idle.
