[QUOTE="Wee Willy, post: 731210, member: 17731"] One very important thing to keep in mind about the manufacturer's pressure numbers marked on the side of the tire is that they are MAXIMUM values for the load condition...not recommended to be exceeded. If you are operating at that value then you are living somewhat on the edge. Keep in mind that most low end pressure gauges "lie" in that they are not calibrated closely and if you put yourself at the maximum with a "lying" gauge, you COULD find yourself operating at pressures over the design limit. For almost all tires you can put on this bike, the "best" pressure (your call using what's important to you: mileage, handling, etc.) is unlikely to be the maximum. Just sayin' W2 [/QUOTE]
