have trouble with grip do we

as said i'd run 26 to 30 max

 

Remember tyre are NOT supposed to be totaly round there should be a "flat-ish spot" at the bottom where they meet the tarmac!

Sure thats not 2.1 bar

 

14.7 psi = 1 bar

Got a bit of a scare the other day, the driver side front I noticed was soft, so stopped at the petrol station and found out it was at 14.
