Question

Hi

For my sins I live in Basingstoke (UK).. As you may know we have a roundabout fixation and due to this a problem with tire ware.

Could someone recommend the correct tire pressure for standard 16" scooby bridgstone boots, so that I do not kill them to rapidly.

Once I have manage to destroy them what would you recommend as a replacement.

Your help appreciated.

Jon
(Pick up new MY2000 scooby in two weeks.)

You will have to go some to kill them - they are quite hard.

Howdy...

Most people WANT to kill the standard tyres quickly to justify spending out on a decent set!

I seem to remember reading somewhere (might have been the SIDC FAQ?) that the cops in Milton Keynes set their pressures much higher than most (36psi) and experience quite a bit more life out of them.

I have Toyos and think they're great...
