Title: Tyre pressure?
Post by: Eveready1100 on April 20, 2011, 11:51:39 PM

I was just giving the old girl a going over and checked the tyres and adjusted the pressure to what I've been running since I got it back in 2001.
Front - 28 lbs
Rear  - 40 lbs.
Just wondering what pressures everyone else uses.

Front (Avon triple duty sidecar)
30psi

Rear (whatever sacrificial hoop I can find in 130/17)
34-36psi - Any higher and the centre just chews out faster!

Sidecar (145/75R10)
28psi

Hmmm! Thanks for the replies, fellas. I might have a bit of a pressure play over the weekend just to see what happens.
