+1 every time i rode my missus' SV I always wondered why it felt so different, slow to react etc, just out of interest popped into a station, checked tyres, 10+psi low all round.

"dear, when was the last time you checked your tyres?"
"what tyres?"
"...ok"

Better grip for stunting you mean, that's why you had it that low

That's always my brother's favourite thing to do. His bike sees the light of day about every 2 months & he never checks his tyre pressures. Then moans that the bike's not handling very well

My front tyre dropped to 10 psi when i had a leaky tyre valve last summer. Worst thing ever, I dont know how I got back to my dads garage without crashing; there was no stations to stop at to put air in the tyre. Horrible, horrible feeling.

I've been guilty of that - my old rear was down to about 10Psi at one point before I remembered to check it!

Lesson learned though!!
