Hey guys,

Just wondering what tyre pressures I should be running for fast road riding?

Thanks in advance,

What tyres are you running?

Dunlop Qualifier RR's I've got on recommend 32 front & 35 rear for solo riding. That's with a 190 hoop.

Cheers. I've just purchased an 07 Mille R, and my 1st impressions were how heavy the steering/front end was. It only had 23 in front and 28 in back! I've put 36/36 in, but not ridden it since, due to poxy weather. Will change em again, and hope for a drastic improvement!

I know its personnal preference though that seems soft.

If i remember correctly the sevice book recommends 36/42 :dunno

Whats the benifit of having them on the softer side? Is it so theres more tyre surface on the road?

I go 33/34. 29/29 on the track. It is down to your tyres and riding style though and what feels best for you.
