1997GL1500 / 1998 Lehman GTL ..... I run same 22-25 psi in both rears always. 22 light load, 25 two up towing 215/70-25 rear tires on 7x15 wheels.
Instead of running different pressures in each rear tire, I recommend finding better, twister roads to ride where a rider would never notice a pull. For example, if you ride US129 (the Tail of the Dragon), my bet is you'd be so busy "slaying the dragon" that you'd never notice any pull/drift.

I use the same in both, 28-32 psi depending on load. Because I live and ride in the Arkansas twisties, I would rather have both tires the same so they behave identically through the turns. Personally, I don't seem to have a problem on most roads I've traveled with my trike from Arkansas to Nova Scotia and thought, "Gee, wish I had a couple of pounds less in that left tire". Besides, then I would have to remember they're not equal when I check the pressure. :Joker3:
Do those 25" tires hold air on the 15" rims ???:qpnmt:
