This thread is hilarious.
The guy in question is such a bad rider he might not notice if he was missing a front tire, he's definitely not going to notice a lil' profile change. He's already got the tire mounted, says its fine.

I run 42 for commuting as well, 36 front. Canyons get a rational 32/36, racing and tracks days get what the vendor specifies for that compound that day, starting at 30/29 and down...
You do have to watch your radius and adj suspension to match, that is why I usually pick a tire and stay with it cause once you work to dial it in you have to start all over with a new brand/size. I know some folks who judge a tire after a swap without even considering what the suspension setting were...

 How would 42 make it explode? Sounds like someone is still stuck in the "35 psi for all tires" era. Hell, even my car tires are recommended to run at 44.

Seriously, how could it be "dangerous" to run a tire at the manufacturer's recommended setting?Page 44 of the Suzuki service manual... http://www.scribd.com/doc/284808/Suz...Service-Manual http://www.motorcycle-karttires.com/...formation.aspx Last edited by Amber Lamps; 03-23-2010 at 07:36 PM.. |

Can you find any tire website that states "We recommend you run this at 44 psi"? I didn't say you COULDN'T run it that high, but I've never heard of a tire company actually RECOMMENDING it. Besides, with cars, the owners manual is more important, since every car weighs different, etc. |
