What air pressure are you guys running on the E3s?

I'm currently running 35PSI rear (160/80-16) and 33PSI front on my '08 FLHTC.
They feel a bit harder than the 402s so I'm a bit leery about upping them up to 40PSI / 35PSI for a 2-up trip.
What do you guys think?

 

i think you're running them too low. i'm running 38/f and 40/r. course, i only ride solo, but that feels good to me.

 

Do they feel a bit harder than the 402s? or is it my imagination because they are after all new tires.
I'll try 38r/35f and see how they do, the 35r/33f feel ok solo

 

I'm running the same as in my 402s, 36 front and 40 rear. I run these pressures all the time whether solo or two up.

 

My INDY installed mine and increased the pressure by about 4lbs per tire over normal. It rides great but I'm going to try the same pressure as stock to see if I notice any difference.

 

36 front, 40 rear.

Check the maximum allowable pressure on the side of the tires. As long as you're under that, don't worry about how hard they feel.

 

I have found over the years running tires with too much pressure will prematurely wear out the center of the tire. I always run with the recommended tire pressure in the book and get good mileage.

 

For my FLHT 40 Front and 42 rear as Dunlop Recommended for the weight of a Bagger ..

 

Just back from an 8400 mile trip, most of it 2 up. One morning I noticed a noise like a bearing howl coming from my rear wheel. I listened to it for a ways, then rode up beside one of the guys I was ridin' with to ask if he could hear it. About the time I caught him it went away!?! Thought about it the rest of the day, & checked the tire pressure the next morning. I was about 4 lb. low from my normal 40. Increased the pressure, & no howl. Happened again about a week later. The E3's on my RG don't like low pressure. 40 psi front & rear gave good performance the entire trip. We ran interstates, Lassen N.P., Crater Lake, CA. 101, Avenue of the Giants, Yosemite, Death Valley, & a bunch of other highway. Put more air in your tires!

 

Good info, haven't heard any howling from mine ...I'm going to try HD specs.
I actually always followed HD specs and my stock 402 rear lasted 17K+ miles.
