How Hard Are Your Tires? Mod Or Stock

[bquamb]

I made this poll because I have no idea if my tire is to hard? My tire is really big and i think it is at about 55Psi. Take the poll and please make a reply. I divided up the bike category for stock and mod riders to clarify for other people 2. Thanks guys.

i run 23 psi on the rear and front. so too low for your poll, and your tyre is way too hard.

[AdamR28]

I run about 25 on my pump, front and rear.

[Sam Nichols]

40 psi front and rear (Y)

[Ali C]

as little as I can get away with, 21.2psi normally

[tom e]

20 psi front and rear, i'll sometimes go a bit lower when im riding natural.

[bquamb]

you but how wode is your back tire? and what not...

mine is like a 2.25 or 2.6 lol i cant find it

[rich4130]

God knows! my front is really hard, 60psi approx?

Rear I do with a bike pump, hard enough not to rim out.

[Impacted.]

55 psi is may too much, I run aboot 23 psi at the back, and about 2 bars at the front.

[JIX]

about 29psi with el gatos

20 in front 20 in back.. it depends on the tyre also... some tyres have "bouncier" sidewalls.... so you are able to run higher pressures and still have that bouncy feeling... Some tyres also fold easier than others... its all personal preferance... you shouldnt copy someones pressure just because it works for them... because your likely to ride differently and be a different weight to the person.. so just pump your tyre up pretty hard, let a little out every now and then until you find the pressure you like.... but not too flat otherwise you will destroy your rim (Y)

thanks

Although I did buy a pressure gauge, I never use it. Just judge it by hand. Probably low 20's front and back. Want it hard enough that it's stable, but not rock hard as the bike just rides shitty.

I ride mod and run 10 Psi in the rear with a try-all tire and in the front I run about 17 psi with a Maxxis Maxxdaddy tire.

[tipus]

10 psi?! (Y)

[JT!]

If i put 25 psi in my mod, it's very hard. It's way off the scale on your poll. And i'm 6ft and 18 years old so i'm not exactly light. :P

I don't think i go much over 20. But i just go with what feels best. Besides we all weight differen't amounts. And well all have different tyres and riding styles making the poll pritty useless. (Y)

Sise of tyre souldn't really have much effect on the pressure, but will have an effect on the volume.

varies. some times i run 20 and rim out all over the place, and other times i run 40-50 psi on the same things. both street and natural.

i tend to try and keep it over 25 psi mostly, and have started running front tyre at the same for taps and shizz.

[N.Wood]

On a stock, i run 21 PSI front et rear.

That's with a Maxxis on the rear and a Continental on the front.

[munkee]

used to use between 30 - 40 psi now dropped down to anything between 20 and 25.

[Dan6061]

20PSI In both.

Perfect.

Creepy Crawler Rear (2.5), Maxxdaddy Front (1.95)

Meh who knows, hard enough so that i don't hit the rims when i land, and so the tyres don't fall off if i land sideways, but soft enough so i dont break my wrists when i land.

[joe b]

I rode with quite hard pressure until a few days ago when i let my tyres down to see what it was like. And i must say i think its loads better, i can compress much easier so i get higher!

Cheers,

Joe.

[Tom Booth]

i run 20 front 25 rear, with a maxxis 2.5 minion rear and a panaracer 2.1 front, Quite nice (Y)

[joe b]

I must say though getting used to this 'lower pressure' is a bit of a bitch on the street as i rim out on almost everything apart from sidehops! (Y)

Cheers,

Joe.

[danny B]

hey peeps i run bout 25 in the front and i have bout twenty 25 in ther back too but that is off the gauge on my pump and it is a bit iffy lol

[bquamb]

Thanks guys (Y) i will put my psi down to about 20ish i guess :P
