    Hi all. I find myself running down close to 30psi and it feels great. Is this too low for road use?
    I know it will reduce tyre life, but I find it a lot more enjoyable. What's your opinions.
    Cheers Broadie

    If it works for you mate then it's fine I'd say.

    Michelin say their minimum is low 20's (cold) for the Cup 2 on track.

    I always run a couple of PSI lower than recommended, its just what feels comfortable for you really!

    is this front or rear?
    the lower the PSI, the more flex you get. It will make riding out terrible roads less uncomfortable.
    I personally don't like the road handling once dropped by more than 2 psi.
    I know different brand pressure recommendation varies from the manufacturer, pirelli used to be one

    No idea sorry. Didn't even realise I'd touched that. I'm on a ship atm with only an old tablet which buggers about. I'll delete it.
