Tyre pressures

[ab3198]

hi,

 

I have a Roko Via (like the bristell) with 5.00-5 6 ply tyres. Nowhere in the POH does it mention tyre pressures, can any one suggest what I should be running?

 

Cheers, Andrew

Andrew have a yarn with Fred Burke at Wagga Bike Tyres or his hangar at the airport don't think there is to much Fred doesn't know, he is a great bloke and very approachable.

Ha ha, thanks chips, it was a pretty calm arvo that day so it definitely should have been a reasonable landing! I assume your're based at Coota? Do you fly from there?

about 2.0 t0 2.2 bar, my tyres are similar...

 

I think its 29- 30 psi

 

Tyres are under stress for very short periods and have low lateral forces, so 29 psi ish should be fine .... on a car tyre the cornering forces on low psi cause too much heat gain.... and too high gives no side wall suspension...

 

I think you should call the dealer, but until then 29-30 would be fine

 

This is enough to stop a flat, and low enough to provide some use of the sidewall for shock absorption
