[QUOTE="SteveO311, post: 1447382, member: 92968"] Tire pressure in my view is a matter of preference. Depends entirely on what you are asking the tire to do. I'm not brave enough to test Shinko tires. My riding pal decided to try his luck with Shinkos on his goldwing which took him all the way to the scene of the crash. Front tire gave up grip in a corner and totaled his bike. Dunlop tires have served my purpose for the best part of two decades. As far as pressure, I stick to what Yamaha recommends for the front tire 36 psi. The front tire is the control point of every motorcycle and I use two factors when it comes to tire pressure, Weight and Traction. 36 psi in the front seems to satisfy both those requirements. 38 psi riding solo seems to be my sweet spot for the rear.
