    TKC80 - Type Pressures.

    What pressures do people put in the TKC80's when using them on-road? Just wondering...

    Is that kg/sq cm?

    If so, that's 31/35 PSI. I stuck 38 in both at the garage earlier, perhaps a tad too much...

    TA 600
    33 psig front
    36 psig rear fully
    loaded for high speed road use

    drop that by 10 psig for off road

    great tyres but soon square off and give an interesting wobble fully loaded at 101-103 mph!! so cruised at 85-90 mph and at very low filtering speeds.

    look the bollock too

    mine has 119mph on them .. they are a but interesting at very low speed when they are new and chunky.. only exceeded 95 mpd ( 101-1030 on a short trial .. not happy with thehandling fully loaded so most was 80-95.

    will check mine again to see what's on the side walls..

    My TKC front wheel says 40 psi on the tyre wall when cold so that's what it is inflated to.

    Ran mine at 30 Front/36 Rear. Fully loaded with luggage or not they didn't feel any different....AND I got 11,500 mile out of the pair Probably more like 15,000 out of the front as I put that back on with a new rear just before the AT was nicked. Hopefully it disintegrated as the thieving wretches made a high speed getaway!
