RE: [ST] Recommended tire pressures??



I've learned to error on the side of higher to avoid cupping of the tread.  High 30's have kept my tires happier longer.  On a Hawk.  We'll see on my "new" Sprint...  (woo hoo!)

Rule #1. Don't exceed what the manufacturer says on the tire.

Rule #2. Experiment and put in enough air so the bike handles the best. 
Unless you're really a miser, the difference in tire mileage isn't 
going to mean much by inflating them extra.
