Bruce Nunnally Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Got out with my inflation gauge and air pump and set my Pirelli's to the 30 lbs front / 32 lbs rear of pressure recommended on the instruction plate on the door inside frame. My V arrived with the pressures all over the place, so getting them all set to standard is probably something I should have done first. Actually, I set them to 30/30 but now I see in the photo that I didn't read carefully lol. Someone had asked me about the appropriate pressures at the last cars & coffee and I recalled from that conversation that 30/30 was correct, but now I'll reset to 30/32. The max inflation pressure on your tire sidewall is interesting; the pressure shown on the info plate is what your original equipment tires should be at. As a thumb-rule, 1 lb of air pressure equates to 10 lbs of effective spring rate.

Texas Jim Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 interesting.... Mine says 30/30 front and rear. If I run it at 30/30 the ride is better (smoother), but the handling is slightly mushy on hard cornering and at high speed. I normally run 32 front and 31 rear here in town. But remember... I have most of my weight on the front tires. When I leave to go on a trip I run 34 front and 32 rear. After running a few hours on the road and with the heat build up... that will go up to 38/39 front and 36 rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
