tyre pressure question
steve m - 17/5/14 at 10:28 PM

Hi all

Ive been running 13 x 205 60 for years on 16 psi,on my 7, but have now changed to 13 x 185 60
and wondered if any difference in pressure should be used, as its a smaller tyre

regards

steve

Sounds about right to me - thats the norm for westfields anyway
Remember its pressure,not volume so there'll be less air in them
Ime on 205 and will probably drop to 185 as i think theyre overkill on a 7

Thanks
yes 205 is way to big/wide, so I now have 185's on the front

The web site for Yoko A021's state minimum of 19psi .
Sorted soft dampers out this year - run 21psi all round now.
Someone mentioned the risk of pressures being checked -
In the case of an accident..
