I've read a number of prior postings on tire pressure settings and have weeded out some from these missives.
Figured it's time we chat a little about what works for our bikes' tires and our own riding style.
I'll start with mine:
- 2005 V Star 1100 Classic.
- OEM Tires (less than 1K on rear tire/front at 3K). Dunlop D404 Front 130/90-16 (67H). Dunlop D404 Rear 170/80-15 (77H).
- Solo set-up. No saddle bags.
- Moderate rider. Average 500 miles a month. Highway/secondary roads. Rarely Interstate riding. Average speed 35 MPH.
- Front tire pressure at 36 psi.
- Rear tire pressure at 38 psi.
Both tires seem to hold up well and rides good.
Other inputs?
