    P1010386.jpg P1010387.jpg P1010388.jpg The pr 4 are much different than sport tires. I twill try 36 f and 38 rear. with hard bags run maybe 40 rear ,36f. I did notice much more braking with the new pads, old pads 3/4 worn out-.good I replaced them-10,400 miles. My new upside down muffler I think has a more Mad max look. these three mods came out real nice. I add gps tom tom rider next and I can really go far , don't know what happened to that DMR rear shock?-I ordered?:drum:

    Some people can be quite accurate in self diagnosis.

    FWIW, I some directly with the VP of marketing @ Michelin, as well as a number of emails with their products support. They all recommend 36 front 42 rear, just like Honda. They grip very well at that pressure. Trust me. Track and about 6000 miles Canyon experience.

    I don't like running super high air-I tried 36 front and 38.5 and it rides too hard, I am going back to 35.5 and 37.5, it is often tire co recommend too much air

    Seriously if you think that you can actually feel the difference in half of a psi of air pressure on the road you must have Moto GP skills

    And I very much doubt that considering how many times you seem to fall over at walking speeds

    Not too mention the differences between 2 or 3 tire gauges being maybe up to 2 or 3 psi different in readings when done at the same time on the same wheel

    tom tom gps works good-no need for sound, I don't know if I like these pr4 -too much snow tire feel.

    So are those hot or cold numbers? How much rise do you get in your tires with your riding style? Have you had your digital gauge calibrated? Using nitrogen? Oh my, so many variables, you must be an expert. Are you running those EBC pads with your Brembo mono blocks? I know how well they give feedback while layed over in a deep fast trail brake, with your expertise I bet you really have dialed in the tire pressure.
