There is some track tire pressure talk here. http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...the-track.html
I was wondering what people run on the street.
Do you go with the pressures listed on the side of the bike/what the bike manufacturer reccomends OR the max pressure listed on the sidewall OR the pressure the tire maker reccomends OR something in between?
The topic came up at Bike Night last night. I had run one of the guys bikes for a session and felt the tires were like bowling balls, we checked the pressures just off the track and they were in the High 40's iirc. We dropped em down to about 35 (Hot) and I figured they could stay there for the street. He told me he went back up to "Street Pressures" of like 36/42 (cold).
Too me that sounds awfully hard, then again the bike is used more as a tourer so getting max mileage might be his goal and the tires may not ever get as hot as they did on the track.
What do you guys/gals use?
Personally I go with what the tire manufacturer reccomends and what "feels right" but I may be running too low on the street.
