[NedSVS]

It looks like Avon sticks with the bike manufacturers recommended pressure. I am running of Avon Spirit STs; the front I got well over 9k miles out of, and the rear is nearly worn out at, approaching, 13k miles. I have been running standard pressures on my 2001 SVS, 33psi front 36psi rear, and my only criticism is they are prone to cupping at these pressures, especially the rear. The early sport 600s from Yamaha and Kawasaki that run the same Avon tyre sizes as my SV are all listed by Avon running 36 front and 42 rear; they weigh around 20lbs more than a SV but I probably weigh 20lbs+ more than the average rider. When the new rear, I have already bought, goes on, I will be trying 39psi rear, to see if the cupping situation improves.
