Tyre pressures for sp9000 front tyres

[raymondbreen]

Hi Guys,

I tend to run my tyres at 32 psi, what have you found to be a good pressure for mainly motorway driving?

I've got Sp 2000 E's (16" - i've just come from 14") and i still use whatever is in the petrol cap, i think 29 and 31, i do mostly town driving, on my old tyres anyway i think it was a good pressure, even wear and everything

I think the recommend pressure is 33 psi, but I run at 34. I one read an article in which none other than Stirling Moss recommended it as it sharpens turn it, and I have to agree. Plus it lower rolling resistance a smidge, so will be better for economy.

Of course the trade off is slightly worse grip when cornering, but as you say you're mainly on motorways this isn't an issue.
