Do I need Road 5 GT? compare to Road 5

Needless to say, I will be experimenting with tire pressure. Keep it above 30 and below 42 ... what could possibly go wrong??

If I'm just going to ride fairly easy, I normally run 40 to 42. If I am going to run hard through the curves, Deals Gap, Cherohala Skyway, I will drop the pressure to around 36 to 38. I have had Road 4s spin coming out of turns with 40 to 42 in the rear. Dropped the pressure to 36 and was good to go. Just my experence. Currently running the Power RS and they stick like glue.

Try this, carrying you air gauge, as everyone should, along with a tire repair kit, head out on a tankful of a ride with maybe 1-2 stops. Check the pressure at each stop. Whatever it reads after a run at speed for any real distance is the pressure you’re running all day. If you start at 42 after a half hour or sooner, the psi can rise 2-4 pounds, especially in hot weather. Do you want to ride with 46 psi?

Note to self: higher tire pressure makes it easier to back the bike into corners

Hi Tire presser is to be set for the type of tire and for how you ride and where you are. I can say for the rear 7psi to 42psi front 30psi to 42psi all set cold.
