[QUOTE="Larry33319, post: 832866, member: 12701"] I would have to take measurements again to answer accuratly. If the pressure is to high you will have more contact with the center of the tread, too low and more on the outside edges. I just started with 35 or so and rode for a while and made adjustments until I had a uniform temp across the entire tread. This could also vary slightly depending on whether you were riding solo or travelling two up with saddlebags packed for a week of touring. I will try it again soon and post my results so far as actual temperatures across the tread. FWIW, I raced cars with the SCCA for 13 years and this was the way I checked for proper pressure, castor, and camber settings. Equal temps mean the best contact to the road surface and increased tire wear. [/QUOTE]
