Tyre pressure with luggage?
I'm going to the AR tomorrow and was wondering do I need to lower my tire pressure with the extra weight from the luggage

Re: Tire pressure
If anything I think you should up your pressure mate.
I'd leave it alone |

Re: Tire pressure
You shouldn't need to alter it from F33, R36 (I have a pointy), but it won't hurt to up the rear a little.
I always run F36, R42 with or without luggage/pillion. |

Just the usual for me, 42/36.
But I am on a VFR. |

F36, R42 for me too, on my curvy with Avon Storms. As recommended by my tire supplier.
