Tyre Pressures?

Post by Bailes1992 »

Acording to the manual, I'm supposed to run 33 on the front and 35 on the back. My tyres always look low? :roll: My front tyres actually starting to show a tad more wear on the outsides which is a sign of underinflation, even though there to manafactures spec?
Anyone shed some light on this for me please?

Ta, Bailes.

I certainly do not claim to be an expert on tyres but I do know that as they heat up while driving the pressure inside them also increases.

I always run mine 1 or 2 lower in winter so more of the tyre is on the road.
Looking for another 406

I run mine at about 38-40psi usually. The fronts could be wearing more on the outers due to over-enthusiastic cornering.
