All about tires

"Solis @ Pirelli: “Check your pressure. Every time you go out on a ride. Nobody ever does it, but I’m still going to suggest that you do it."

I got the FOBO sensors to alert me in advance of a sudden leak while riding , but have found it's also a good way to just confirm tire pressure each time I get on the bike. It agrees very closely with my quality tire gauge.

"Bell @ Dunlop: “There are two schools of thought. I think if somebody is going to entertain the idea of trying a non-standard size, something that’s different than the motorcycle manufacturer recommends, they should do as much homework as they can. I wouldn’t recommend just going off of the blogs because somebody said that they did it, and it was awesome."

I think enough of us have had luck changing up from the standard sizes and handling is improved- I consider it "well researched."

Good article!

I have a stock size on the rear of my old Rocket but did put on a rear tire mounted backwards on the front influenced by the testimony of Ole Bell and Blaine. It has seemed to work very well for improved steering and handling. I don’t care that the mileage is expected to be greater but it is a bonus. I’m sure there might be some objection by the manufacturers if I asked them. Oh well.
