UPDATE: Tyre Pressure 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be Niel on  Sat Jun 26 18:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Went to fill the tank today (done only once a month, stay close to work) and checked the tyre pressure. It was 34 psi on Dunlop 165x14 radial tyres that say 35 max. Took it down to 24 and the stability increased significantly. It's better at a streight line (caster probably increase with lower pressure, smaller diameter?) and the rear end stays where it should when wiggling the wheel. Autobooks state 20 front and 24-26 rear, increase all round by up to 4 in fine weather and good roads, never over 30. Now I know why. Will probably drop it to 20 and 24 as I never have a load/passangers.

Have fun...
