No offense,but I can feel a 5-10lb difference in my tire pressure.

so can I... the tire pressure was fine... I had a nail in it.. and they put slime in and said I'd be fine... so I was riding... got a bit absent minded forgot about the nail and got a bit heavy with the throttle... the nail came out along with all the air and half the slime... it wasn't a slow leak... it was basicly a blowout

when at the gap last year, everyone suggested i let just a few pounds of air out of my tires, cause i'd get better grip... felt like i was riding on jelly donuts.

5-10 lb dif should be a HUGE dif.
