Correct Tyre PSI for Conti Road Attacks ?
 

What is the Correct Tyre PSI for Conti Road Attacks ? One up riding no pillon.

Cheers Joe.

Continental web site recommends 2.5 bar (36 psi) and 2.9 bar (42 psi)

Conti Web Site

this is just my opinion, decide for yourself or see what others suggest, but I'm not over confident in the Conti website pressures as being gospel.

I haven't got RA's on the SV but I have them on my Deauville (excellent tyres for it!).

The stock Hond@ pressures are 36/42. That is too hard for the RA's on that bike, far too skittish, though the OE Michelins were OK at that.

The Conti website gives 33/36 for the DV on RA's. That's too low, the front loses it's "precision" and the rear gets squirmy.

I've ended up mid-way between (35/39 ish) which seems a nice compromise.

Use the recommended values and then try a couple of psi different for yourself. You may find you prefer slightly different values.

On my SV I've found the recommended 33/36 suits me well with BT020's, I'd be a little suspicious of 36/42 unless I really found it necessary.

Just my opinion :wink:

I'm happy with 35/38.
