tire psi 4 Months, 1 Week ago  
I will be going for a ride to the west coast next week (2700 miles each way) .

My question is what psi should my tires be at ?

I'm 200 pounds, will have my sadle bags full, and have large sissy-bar bag on.


Did I say i am going for a road trip? Can't wait.

Cheers

Depends on what brand tires you have on...

I have the Metzler 880's front and rear on my Roadie and I run 42psi front, 45psi rear.

So far... they still look real good, even after running 8,000 miles. I figure I'll get 12,000 miles out of the rear tire before I have to change it.

Good luck on your road trip. Take lots of pictures....! Have fun and enjoy the ride!

I second what Mikljay said depends on what tires you have. I run Metz 880 too and have 42 front and 45 rear. Check your tire sidewall for the proper inflation psi.
Where are you coming on the West Coast??

How do you like the Conbra sound? I am seriously considering buying a set sometime in the next week or so. I am also considering Bub and V&H. Thanks
