35" MTR w/ Kevlar Tire Pressure?
Just wondering what tire pressure everyone is running in the Goodyear MTR w/ Kevlar.
The morons at my local Discount tire had three of mine at 40 psi and the fourth at 48 psi.
I reduced them all to 35 psi but still seems a little stiff.
What is everyone else running on the street?

shawn mine are at 28psi... pretty good and it's seems I'm wearing on almost all the tread.. outside edge is a not making contact... try 28psi... I think that is what's what several others run on the mtr kev's... this weekend I'm going to try it at 26 or 27 psi and see if I can get full contact across the entire tread.

yeah . . . I'm definately not getting full contact on the outer edges. I will try 28 psi and see what happens.
Capt, Did you get your caster issue sorted out?

shawn good to meet you this weekend.... fyi on tire pressure....
morning cold tire... 28psi..... drove for about 30 min checked tire pressure again and it was 31 psi..... drove another 1/2 hour checked again 31 psi. I new that it felt like it was riding harder... duh 3lbs of press ure on a 35... gunna rider harder
Still not making full contact on the outer 1/2 inch of tread....
Going to lower them to 26 psi in the morning and then take a drive and see how it does and check if the outer 1/2 of tread is making contact.... I will also check psi and see if it goes up another 3 psi.
