In an attempt to get a bit of guiding advice -
The new tyres have a max press of 33psi stated on sidewall (tyres are the same make for f/r ensign universal 300x20 tyres).
The fitted tyres (also 3.00 x 20) have a current press
front = 18psi
rear = 16 psi
I have rode it a little although very slowly
and cautiously - on good roads I didnt notice any adverse
wobbling sliding or worrying traits.....
So
How does 18psi front and 16 psi sound - anyone have any thoughts. Guessing the rear is a bit lower for the bumps - ride quality 👀 my only worry is it may be a little low at 16 psi although my offroad bikes run very low pressures so shouldn't be too low !!!!
Any thoughts Cheers 🍻
