#45086 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Tire Pressure and Tire Wear 4 Years, 7 Months ago   For all you tire experts out there: When I got my rear tire replaced with the ME880, the guy who mounted and balanced it at the shop inflated it to 37 psi. It's rated for 41 psi. Will the 4 lbs difference have any appreciable effect at all on tire wear? Is it likley that being slightly under-inflated could make the tail end a little sloppy in tight cornering?

Junior Boarder Posts: 148 Re:Tire Pressure and Tire Wear 4 Years, 7 Months ago   Leave it at 37 if riding solo. 41 psi if over 295 lbs. I run mine at 36 lbs and have no problems around corners...   Logged     Freddy from CT.

I can tell when it is low as at highway speed the bike is a bike squirrelly when I run over the parallel tar lines.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:Tire Pressure and Tire Wear 4 Years, 7 Months ago   I come in at 250, so I'm thinking I'd like to add the other 4 psi.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #45154 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Tire Pressure and Tire Wear 4 Years, 7 Months ago   I'm around 270, give or take, and have mine at 40 psi. Seems to ride just fine for me, Earl.

An under-inflated tire can start some bad wear patterns and damage the edges of the tread (cornering tread) before you catch it. I run mine at 39 to 40 unless riding two up or lots of luggage.   Logged     I would rather be on my bike thinking about God, than sitting in church thinking about my bike.
