Tyre pressure help.
The standard front tyre size on my bike is 100x90x19,I have changed it to a 110x90x19.......so do I have to change the tyre pressure? If I do, why and what to? Thanks in advance
Same pressure as you always ran is appropiate. Your tire is just a bit wider now that's the only difference,you still need the same pressure. I run 32psi front,36psi rear solo. Loaded with a passenger I run 40psi on the rear.
Despite what many people think, the pressure listed on ANY tire's sidewall, car, truck, bike, airplane or golf cart,
is the MAXIMUM that the tire is designed for, NOT the recommended pressure. The vehicle manufacturer will
specify that in the owner's manual.
A larger tire such as you have fitted is capable of supporting a greater load at the same pressure as you have been using
so I'd start with that. The difference isn't going to be huge so I wouldn't be surprised if you just stay with what you'd been
using, but it never hurts to play around a little. In theory, you could lower the pressure a smidgen, but I wouldn't.
