So I get that everyone has a preference for tire pressure. I just changed from the stock speedmasters(crap) to AM26 s. the mechanic who installed them ran them up to 35.5 psi according to my new digital tire gauge(also crap).
So my question, the factory recommended tire pressure, is that determined by the bike or the tire? Is it the bikes geometry that determines that number or is it the design of the tire?
Also here a. Story. 2 weekends ago the lady and I were headed to the hot springs to soak. We stopped for gas and she said she need to add some air to her car's tires. I asked where her gauge was, and was told she just "guesstimates" them, added air whenever she feels like they have used some up as. If it's a commodity to be used up. I went straight in and bought the afore mentioned tire gauge. And what do you think I found? The sticker said 33 psi. I found a 35, a 45, a 47, AND A 62 psi tire. She said it's the first time she's ever actually seen me shocked. I'm pretty easy going but apparently my face was one of horror when the "guesstimate" came out
