PSI Tyre

[Den 08]

hi all just fitted scwalbe weatherman to my gp what psi should i put in it states 44psi max
but seems a bit high i'm using tubes on standard rims. i'm 14-15 stone helps to keep scot on ground i also noticed that there is'nt alot of room between tyre wall and engine case about 4mm should this be of concern?

about 18-20 front and 28-32 rear is the normal. 44 psi... is for the tyre to support maximum tyre load, and not for the use you will use it for......

[mark]

on my series one i run 44 psi 2 up (25 stone approx) and 60k in the trailer ,just get mates to keep an eye on your tyre shape when riding (well thats what i do )

the best setting for tyre pressure FOR YOU will vary as to your use/load.............
and is best found from experience/familiarity with your own machine..........

but typically,.......if you find that your tyres quickly go bald in the middle............its over inflated..................

or if side walls look cracked its under inflated

Hi Den what size tyre is it your running on i run the weatherman 190 / 10 on the rear and the paceman on the front both on standard rims wide rims wont fit with this size of tyre on the rear due to engine casing clearence i ran at 35psi to sweden and back. A little wear was noticed but i put this down to over 2300 miles being covered and i was towing a trailer.
kind regards
