40 rear (Used to run 36 but I read the same article by the Dunlop guy & bumped the rear to 40.)

ORIGINAL: alexcue

36 front
40 rear, but it's an Elite 3

for the record ran 38 rear with the stock 402
How do you like the E3?
Are you running it with the stock 402 on front?

Default RE: tire pressure

depends on the tire and the load. my manual calls for 36 for my weight and that's what I run. I've been playing around with various tire and suspension pressures and have gone back to stock, I feel that's best for me, it made a huge difference over the past 1k miles

36/40, goes to 40/44 when they are hot.

Got advice one time that if they are less than 4# different hot, running too high a cold pressure and if more than 4#, running too low a cold pressure.
