Tyre pressure?
 
Hi, Iv just check my tyre pressures today due to my bike felt like it was handling strange and i found out the front was on 28psi and the rear was 35psi. Iv got BT010's. What sort of presure do you lot run on the front and back?

Thanks Lee

I run 37F/42R in my Azaro STs during summer
winter I vary the pressure in Pirelli MTR60s

anywhere from the same 37f/42r @ 60°F or above
to 28f/28r @ -15°F

I have bt010/020 combination. I run the front on 35 and the rear on 36.

HI, I take it 29psi is low? what do you lot recomend for the bt010's? It says max 42 so i dont really wanna go that high.

Thanks

Sv's are supposed to be 33/36 but I believe Bridgstone recomend 36/36. Use what feels best for you dude

Hi, I will try 36/38 and see what that feels like.

Also Is it better to have the tyres hard or softer in wet weather? and do you recon that 36/38 is a good compromise? (I have never riden a bike in the winter before)

Thanks again Lee

38 sounds a bit too high.
Personally, with 020's, I'm on 34/36 and all's well.
Riding in winter's fine as long as you're wearing the right gear and you develope a deep paranoia for white lines, diesel, manhole covers, damp leaves, overbanding, standing water............ :roll:
