Egg Fried Rice Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 it depends on alot of factors really.i run mine on about 15 psi with try all tyres that have very stiff sidewalls and i find it to be a perfect pressure. i use to have my tyres quite hard but i realised that having them softer gave me better balance (somehow ) and that i could bounce higher on stuff.its all up to you how you like your tyres JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 areet it depends if you are a smooth rider. I run mine at about 15psi it is just perfect for mecheers maxi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 i run 20psi and that seems perfect for me but it matters how much your weight is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewillywinky Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 i run my front harder than my back purely because i spin more on my front and its easier with a higer psi, as for knowing the psi i don't i pumpt till it feels nice then ride a little let some air out or in and then i'm off. i guess itl be different each time but it's all cool.

Token Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I weigh 63kg (10 stone) I run a sticky finger at 14psi, havent had a pinch (yet) and no dents to the rim (echo '06) grips pretty nicely and is really bouncy. Anything harder than that an I notice the tyre slipping.... dinners ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boswell Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Why are you asking what pressure to run your tyres, it depends on the person. I think that you should pump your tyres to a high pressure then go out riding and set it to what feels right for you.Mr ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I always just wack mine up loads and then as i ride i let them down depending what im riding, either street of natural, I dont have a certain pressure, just whatever feels right.Just take a pump with you, then your always sorted! Ive got a 2.5 on the back, and ive found it has alot more griip than a 2.3 or whatever, plus they arnt that much heavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam trials Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 i run a paracer mega blaster 2.5 on rear with 18 psi. it gives you loads of grip and a mitchelin on the front with 10 psi i get loads of grip and have found it is the best presure for me at 10 stone(ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
