Hey there Forum Folks,
I'm just trying to wrap my head around the tire pressure for the TW200. The owners manual says standard cold temp pressure is 18psi front/real, with max load at 22psi rear, 25psi front.
On the actual tire, it states max 33psi ... now I know for trail riding 18 or less is probably best, and it'll be bouncing around like crazy even at 22/25. Mine came from the dealer with 30/31psi front, and 32/33ish rear. It has been bumpy on any trails I've taken, but feels like on the road.
I guess I am just confused that the sticker on the front fender and owners manual states such a drastic difference in tire pressure than the printed area on the actual tires. I have been riding on the streets in the city, and finding fun paths, construction sites, farms to ride on, so I am jumping very quickly to street and direct/etc.
If I am going to be riding at 55ish mpg on the roads, what do you guys recommend I set my tire pressure to? The 30psi range seems to high in general, but that is what the dealer set it to. Any information would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!
Also, I did do a general search for this in the forums, and didn't see anything obviously answering my questions. Thanks again.
