Well, if you know shite Moe, where does that leave me mmm???
In particular, considering how important those donuts are, I like to pick the brains from anyone who has learnt from here and there.
In this discussion I find it interesting to read the variations between one rider and another or is it one tyre and another.
First thing though, is there or why would there be such a big difference between one tyre the same size as another yet made by different manufacturers?
Here we have much the same elevation yet Erle runs around 28 on the rear using Venoms whilst Moe's is around 36 or there about for the 880's.
That's a big difference between manufacture's tyre specs?
Sure, I don't want to take this thing too seriously but to have a fair understanding wouldn't be a bad thing.
Even if you take the safety aspect away and do as Moe suggests, which is let me say, take a more mature way of riding. Just the cost factor itself is a fair incentive to be in the right ball park inflation wise.
The other thing is, the triumph manual specs say around 31F and 34R (or there abouts), but hasn't there been a variation in tyre manufacturers from stock depending on which country you bought your bike?
Me for instance, I had lazertechs but am I wrong when I recall others having Bridgestones or something similar etc as stock on their bikes when they bought them?
A few questions there, and then I've found this inflation guide by Metzler for the 880's.
So by the looks of things Triumph owes me a few bucks cos my Lasertechs lasted bug#erall k's.
Anyway,
for Marathons you may find this chart interesting.
Anyone else want to add their experiences, join in cos it's not nearly as simple as I've thought
