    OK, how about a tire pressure thread, searched couldn't find one.
    I just cant accept the recomended pressure of 42 rear 36 front. This is my first experiance with bias ply tires. My experiance has been to run 32-33 front 36 rear. I have stock tire sizes on my 86. I do ride the twisties at a good clip.

    Do they require high pressure to track right?

    What pressure feels best to you guys?

    Is it the fact they are bias that makes them nervous on bad roads?

    Thanks for our input.

    I run about the same pressure as you, it will make the tires wear out a bit quicker but gives a little extra bite on those extreme lean angles...
