      Modern tires tend to run higher pressures than tires of old. Check with the tire mfg for recommended pressure if you are unclear. For most typical tires these days I'd go with 30'ish front and 35'ish rear.

            Hi,

            For me it's 32psi-F and 36psi-R, using the "10% method".


            Thank you for your indulgence,
