    rattle

    Tyre Pressure

    I have been playing around with tyre pressures for a while and have found that 28psi in the front and 32psi in the rear works best for me. I have 235 x 85's, 28psi in the front seemed to stop a lot of the wandering you can get especially on off beat country lanes etc. The 32psi is dependant on...
