Default Another Submariner on a Bob
I rode: 571, 633 and 659 boats.
It's odd, but I can't find the pressure on the tires.
After the 1k check up, I have noticed a rough, rumbling feeling when I am in a lean. Dealer thinks that perhaps it has to do with tire pressure being raised in the shop. The range of pressures mentioned in the discussion shows the range that I can play with.

I have a 2011 street bob. I always run 30 front and 40 rear. Michelin tires seem really sensitive to correct air pressure. I had a small front end wobble , turns out I had way to much air pressure in them. I tried a lot of different combinations and 30 front and 40 rear is spot on. I ride solo.

About 28-30 front, 36-38 back....depending on temps. Always preferred to ride a little softer.
