Default Tire pressure...

What p.s.i. you guys running with? Manufacturer suggests 36f, 42r, now my bike shop told me to go 36f, 36r. This is for street riding. The higher the p.s.i the more life you get out of the tire but with a with a lower p.s.i. the tire will conform more to the road.

31/32 track 36 street 38 commuting, some will say 38 seems high, but keep in mind this is for commuting...

I keep the front a couple psi lower than the rear for each setting.

What tires are you running? The PSI you run at the track depends on the brand. Most people say Pirelli recommends 34/34 for their Diablo Corsa. When I had M1s, I ran 29-32/28-30 at the track.

For commuting, 36/38 should be fine. Spirited riding you can run a bit lower pressure.

I guess you're right.. if Method Man was spittin that, it'd probably sound dope.. then again, I keep picturing Vanilla Ice with a little bit of Dr Seuss rapping to Torque.
