2015 RT handling.

[Martyn]

I get oversteer/ front tuck in with standard tyre pressures on my 2015 RT. Any suggestions?

Take in for the dealer to check out if the tyre pressures are ok.
Not had anything like that on mine.

I get that on my '05 RT, worse at low speed and when the tank is full. I check the pressures before every ride. Having said that, two expensive gauges gave readings 6psi apart, with an old draper thing halfway between the two. How do you know if a gauge is accurate? Be interested to know if there is a common cause for this.

Tyres or tyre pressure.

What tyres, & what pressure ?

 

[Yonkyo]

Is the front tyre on the right way round and pressures correct?

Conti road attack GTs on mine, running at 36psi front, 42psi rear. Handles brilliantly in all conditions.

 

[dmilne]

You didn't go for the PR4s then?

 

[Yonkyo]

I put another Conti on the back, as the OEM front still has lots of tread left.
Might try the PR4s next though.

36/42 OE Michelins

 

[Martyn]

I wondered if anyone had tried alternative pressures with positive results.

 

[stanley]

Are they PR4 GTs ?
If standard PR4, then I find that they need "at least" 36 psi in the front.

I'd suggest checking with another gauge; making sure you do have 36 psi to start with. Then, if so, try a couple of psi more.

I'd suggest pressures of 36/42psi front & rear & rear respectively make a good starting point, of any of the major makes.

I find mine handles better on 2.7 rear 2.5 bar front cold. Sorry don't know what that is in psi. I found that the OEM bridgestones awful and binned them for Michelins which transformed the handling. I would imagine much of this is personal preference and I am sure others have different views.

The convention is front/rear. You're running 36/39
