[Ducati] Tire Pressures, bike vs tire mfg advice

[Gleeb Gliber Galactica Gavorti]

Good to get some responses on this.

What I am 'hearing' seems to reflect common wisdom.  Around 32 for street
use on "sport" tires.  But I didn't know common wisdom and mfg. specs were
so far apart.  Sheesh.

As far as a bike manual's recommended tire pressure specs it seems to me
that they are ONLY recommending pressures for the tires which came on the
bike.  How in the world could the same pressure be at all appropriate for
any and all tires the bike might be 'shoed' with?  And certainly they could
never be able to take into consideration any new tires which are yet to be
developed.  Tires used which are developed after a bike's manual was written
cannot possibly be taken into consideration in the manual.

Taking that into consideration makes me think to ask the TIRE manufacturer
for pressures rather than bike manufacturers/manuals.  But I'm just making
this up as I go along.

That make any sense?

Grazi for playing along...

Ride Well!
