[ST] for george - Tire Pressure on a Rear



 >>> Does it help to lower rear tire pressure to 36psi on a worn tire
that was always run at 42?   It seems to me that the lower pressure
will put a bit more center tread on the pavement. <<<

    Even 36 is a little high to run in a rear unles you USUALLY ride
two up and you're both size large (owner's manual notwithstanding). 
The HIGHER the pressure, the MORE center tread on the pavement; lower
pressure wears the sides more.
