[QUOTE="John Cone, post: 6455, member: 280"] Having read this thread from start to finish it accures to me that most people are running their tyres too soft. I have in a past life been a tyre fitter and fitted a lot of tyres to bikes. The use of proper tyre lubricant does not creat tyre creep as it dries out after a short while. On my Prince before it went into hibernation I ran it on Metzlers back and front with the pressures 28 front & 36 in the rear because you never know if and when you will need to go two up. Having Dunlop alloy rims I still use tubes with security bolts "whether you can still buy them I don't know". After having the bike off the road for the last 11 yrs i decided to check the tyre pressures, the front had only lost 5 psi the rear was down to 10 psi not bad me thinks! [/QUOTE]
