I'd like to impose upon you if I could..... I just installed some new tires, Shinko 705s, they replaced K60s. The profile is defiantly more rounded and handle much better on the street and trails.jimyamaha said:well if people need to be told that a car tyre has a flat profile and a motorcycle tyre is rounded then they may need to find out that cars have 4 tyres and motorcycles only have two ...
I have a few hundred miles on them (mostly road but a good bit of gravel roads and trails) and noted the center of the back tire is showing tread wear (I just took my tread gauge to them this AM). Max pressure on the sidewall states 42 psi, I'm running 38 psi. I'm a bit surprised to see some thread wear this soon.
So to my question. To reduce tread wear should I increase or decrease the rear tire pressure?
