CBF chasing other tyre joints and didn't have to take time off work since it was right near the airport where I was today, so see how these go.

I'm running 40psi in them but they've seen the odd hard corner and high speed stop so fairly happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been running 40psi and last weeks check I drop it to 38psi because of inner and outter edge. Did the same with the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also noticed my wider rears are always a smaller profile like 35 front and 30 rear, why is that? Is it coz the extra width actually makes the tyre taller? Coz I'd really like to go 245 40 fronts and 265 40 rears. That rear size does seem particularly hard to come by though.Wrong thread but since were on the topic of tyres....Thinking about it my fronts have always had a little stretch so is it actually a case of the 35 being smaller so 30 rear to match?
