What Tires You?
Posted on April 7th, 2012 by Jay Green
What tires you like and why? How much pressure do you use? How often do you check you tires? When and how do you check them?
I run the stock Harley Dunlops on my Dyna Low Rider at the recommended 30 in the front and 36 in the back for one up motorcycle riding. I measure cold at home. I check often in the beginning of the season and taper off towards the end. I fill them at home with either a small portable or large shop compressor. When they are punctured, I replace them. I run tubeless so I can patch them if I’m on a ride and get a flat. I replace the damaged tire as soon as possible. I hate paying to replace a tire that had plenty of tread left but you gotta do what you gatta do! Whatta you do?
I have a small compresser that I use to check my tires each time I go out. Too risky not too. After hearing peeps went down because of someone riding with low tire pressure, its become a sure thing for me.
Thanks for bringing the importance of this small inexpensive device to the table KT! I believe 100% everyone should have one of these in their saddlebag and have added it to my product line at my online store http://www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com
