[QUOTE="user 213, post: 831408, member: 213"] Every tire is different. The stiffness of the side walls will dictate what pressure feels right, to some degree. Based on load and heat, most tires are pretty good in that 28-32 range. Feel is more subjective though, so you just have to go with what feels best for you and see what happens long term, tread wear wise. I put 36,600 on the first BT-019G at mostly 30-31 psi. It wore evenly all the way. I did notice extra wear at the edges when I had a low pressure event due to a nail and it dropped to around 20 psi, but I still rode it home 500 miles w/o incident. That did teach me that I needed to pay a little more attention to how it felt while riding though, cause it's not as dramatic a change in feel when pressure drops off. [/QUOTE]
