?DUMB? Hawk Tire Pressures

Do©Hawk · 11-15-2023, 02:49 PM

How do they feel? I have knobbies. They are stiff tires. Early on, I had a loose valve in the stem causing a slow leak in my front tire. It got down to about 6lbs before I noticed something felt a little squirrelly. I have since been feeling them out, and they feel good and right at 23 lbs +/-. I ride almost entirely on pavement and I'm a light guy at 150lbs. There are a lot of variables that are going to play into YOUR personal tire pressure preferences. I wish tires would list a minimum as well as maximum tire pressure. Something that would give you a range for safe operation , but room for variation.
