[Ducati] Tire Pressures, bike vs tire mfg advice

[Scott Cloninger]

I go lower, but I'm not uncomfortable with 32.  

For track days I usually start at about 28F, 30R.

For street riding I generally use 30F, 30R.

These pressures work for Pilots and Supercorsa Pros.

I work HARD to keep my tires warm!

Is this approximately 32 pound consensus for the tires when cold?

Cheers,

John

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!

Gabriel
