tire pressure - 55 mains, 60 nose

Post by A2022 »

about 350 hours on these tires in the original installed position. the wear looks OK. it's been about 9 months since I checked the tire pressure. the nose pressure had reduced to 50 psi and the mains had reduced to 40. I rejuvenated the tire pressure - 55 mains, 60 nose. I noticed one cap causing leaking when I reinstalled, so I tightened the valve stem about a half a turn and that corrected it. I am not sure how it became loose. I also moved my sunglasses case to be more forward to be easier to access. hey, if you don't like a features position, move it.

make sure your brakes are in perfect condition as with these tire pressures, it will roll forever.
