What tyres Trunker??

The higher pressures do me as well..on Tourences anyway...slighlty lower when on TKC's.

35f and 40r with tourance and TKC80s. I'm disgustingly over-weight.

I was also told that Tourances should be run at 36F and 42R and changed from the manuals 32/36. Soon changed back though.

Given my extra, ahem, muscle mass and bone weight I run Tourances at 34/38. Any more and you begin to feel every squashed bug in the road, and the handling gets a bit skittish.

Any lower and the wobbles set in (the bike, not me).
