Tyre Pressures?

Recommended Posts

For the first 6 months of my recent riding career I was riding with about 50% too much air, since my gauge was off quite a bit, and I hadn't checked it with other people's gauges to see if mine was correct. That's what I get with using the same gauge that we used 25 years ago. :-)

For Michellin X-11 I do 3.7 psi rear, 5.6 front, generally, but the old-standby 4 rear, 6 front will do you just fine.

For Dunlops, I think they can go just a bit less than that due to the Dunlop's stiffer sidewalls (stiffer sidewalls are not, overall, ideal - in my opinion...but they do save you some money.)

I just replaced my rear tire this week....the little X's in the knobs were gone. This was after 9 months of riding them from new. Front tire is fine so far.
