rear tire pressure

[nightstalker]

the roads in okla all crown to the outside. does anyone run a couple of pounds less air in the inner tire, if so how does it affect the trike normally?

[mhgoldwing]

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.

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 did for a while,but could not really feel any advantage in doing that. I run 22 in the rear and it feels good to me. 08wing/13roadsmith. My advice is search around for what suits you best. RIDE SAFE

I dampened my drive and aired up the rears to over 30psi. Kept running over the wet drive, letting air out until I left a full tread width track.

Because my conversion is a Hannigan(off set rear to the right)I ended up at 24psi in the Left rear and 26psi in the Right rear.

Do you put dyno beads in them and how much pressure to you put in it cold?

1997GL1500 / 1998 Lehman GTL ..... I run same 22-25 psi in both rears always. 22 light load, 25 two up towing 215/70-15 rear tires on 7x15 wheels.

Do those 25" tires hold air on the 15" rims ???

Most well traveled roads have slight ruts where the wheels of countless

car and truck wheels have worn the pavement. I ride with the front wheel

just to the left of the centerline, on the side of the rut. From the point of

view of the front tire,"downhill" is to the left, and is pulled that way a bit.

Different roads vary on how much of a valley there is, if at all, and I just

have gotten used to steering against the pull of the crown of the road.

Did the Tail of the Dragon twice last fall on my brothers trike with no rake. Do that ride 318 curves in 11 miles and enjoy the shoulder pain.

Agree, think RoadSmith recommends around 28 psi, as mhgoldwing, I'm running 32 mostly riding two up.

Woops, having some double vision problems. Fixed it,
