As I scan around the various bike forums I'm finding some info that seems at odds with 50+ years of driving (cars). I notice several riders that recommend a much lower tire pressure for the trikes rear tires than the tire side wall recommends.
My 2009 Venture Hannigan trike has Kumho 195/55R16 87V tires. The sidewall recommends a maximum (note maximum!) PSI of 51. I have been running about 36psi in those tires. But I'm seeing a number of riders that are saying it should be much lower than that. I find every thing from 22 to 28psi.
Should I be lowering my rear tire pressure? If so is there a good "average" for my trike. We usually ride two up and lightly loaded but we have two long rides coming up and we'll be packed much heavier (STAR Days) and I'd really like to get some logical information on this subject.
