Gents,

I know it's been discussed before, however, I can't seem to locate it on the forum. What PSI are you folks using for your tires? I've been questioning whether mine are to low (25psi), I'm noticing rub marks on the inside of the tire, where it appears the brake housing is rubbing on side loads or "heavy" landings.

Go to Thorplist archive. Go search. Type in Tire Pressure. Go page 5 ? Maybe it was 6 ?

I liked mine at 35 psi - it challenged me to kiss the tarmac - having said that, new owner says I had the port tire at 50 PSI.....?????.....must be cuz it always tucked to the left.

I use a tire that has four ribs and three grooves. I inflate the tire until the outer rib lifts off the floor or inflate until you can stick a 1/4" just under the outside of the tire, what ever the pressure turns ouy to be??.
