Race tyres on the road?

[(P)]

wow, I started all this?

lol

With respect to pressures for race tyres that is so out of touch, very bad advice. The year is 2009.
Are you even remotely aware of what hot tyre pressure should be on N-Tec Dunlops?

Bad advice? 34psi in a rear Supercorser cold, I consider to be attempted manslaughter!

Exactly, best to listen to the manufacturers recommendations. They just might know a little more and be averse to a Heath Robinson approach.

I haven't checked the pressures yet, but the bike shop who put them on for me put (i think) 32 psi front and 30 psi rear and suggested for track days 30 psi front and 28 psi rear. What do you guys think? Like I mentioned, I have always previously run Pilot Power 2CT's so am not too hot on the Super Corsa's.
Either way, 34 psi sounds far too high for either road or track riding....

[Brett]

Just had a look at the manufacturers spec and they recommend the following pressure ranges dependant on road, ambient temp etc....

F 32 -42psi

R 36-42psi

Now I readily admit that I am not exactly a pro here, but doesn't that seem a little high? Of course, Pirelli wouldn't hire lots of smart engineers who make such recommendations for nothing......

Ya think ?

Do they say if that is hot, or cold pressures? Seems very high to me, I've never run a rear supercorser higher than 28psi on the track, or road.

[driftn]

If I remember rightly, on J-lo I had 28f and 26r (cold) at the track and on the road(pirelli slicks).

[Brett]

I don't think it specified whether that was hot or cold temps.

Sounds like you are not far away with that advice. Variables in riding and weather make it hard to state a perfect pressure just for you. But I have used as high as 32, 34 cold and as low as 28 both ends, as I said variables . G.
