Anyone know the recommended ?

Don't trust the book after the P1 manual got it completely wrong.

Have all you "twitchers" checked your pressures ?

Thanks

Russ, 33 and 28 works for me. 4.5K on the clock now and the tyres are well scrubbed in. Any twitchiness that there was in the first couple of weeks went by about 2K. Tyre wear is very even. I'll stick with the recommended pressures.

checked mine today

they had been set to approx 33f/31r although they were a little wayward side to side. I have a very expensive pressure gauge which measures to 1/10th psi and continually shows up dealer settings to be inaccurate. This time however they were closer than usual.

reset to 33f/29r

All my pressures were miles off when I got mine. highest I think was 20.5 PSi.

Currently running with 33f 31r.

Just have a fiddle about and see what feels best (within reason of course).

Mike.
