[QUOTE="Bearly Flying, post: 34748, member: 337"] Take your tire pressures cold, go for a ride to warm up the tires, take the warm tire pressure. Should be approx 5 % increase in pressure. If you have more than 5 % increase from cold to warm, increase cold pressure. Heat is the major contributor to tire wear, the heat is caused by the flexing of the tire carcass. An under inflated tire will flex the carcass more producing heat which will cause the pressure to increase substantially. As you increase the cold tire pressures, the tire carcass will not flex as much, resulting lower heat build up and lower pressure increase from cold pressures to warm. I find that 40 to 42 psi cold pressures work for the style of riding that I do. YMMV.....Don.... [/QUOTE]
