have a quick search of the forum pal, there's hundreds of threads on tyre pressures! but i usually go with 36psi front, 42 rear. i think the standard is 33/36 (but don't take my word for it!)

Yes, if you have a new generation then 33f/36r. There are all sorts of reasons and opinion on what pressures to run. But most tyre makers will say to use the manufacturers indicated PSI. And if you don't know how any changes to this will affect the bike then stick to what the manual says, at least for now.

My crystal ball is at the menders - could you say what bike you have?

I imagine this would help.

If we were having this discussion in the SV section, then I'd have an idea what bike we might possibly be talking about.

But we're not.

So I don't.

Try the manufacturer's website.

Bridgestone have a list of bikes, tyres and the associated pressures.

Worked well for me on BT-023s
