ThanksMichelin Airstop inners.
Totally agreeMichelin Airstop inners.
running 1 PSI above the factory recommendation, which, off the top of my head is 24F and 26R, so 25/27 cold. this is a bit lower than some of you folks. when I add a little air, i'm usually read around 23/25. is it better to pump the pressures up a bit and is there an advantage? handling and ride quality seem OK, but then again, I have nothing to compare it too. here in florida, road surface temps get a bit warm. BTW, I may have the factory recommended pressures bass-ackwards (i'm half asleep) - whatever it is, one pound above.What tyre pressures do you guys like? I'm using 32/30
Jerry,I have been running am26 along with Michelin Airstop. I am happy to hear I have been running the best inner tubes. I would say 2lbs a month is about right for me also.
I can’t believe how hard it is to find 100/90/19 Am26 tires stateside. I was online for a few hours searching all the normal stores and everyone one is sold out. I finally found them at “American Moto Tire” and one is on back order. I suppose it must be related to covid. Glad I found them, really like that tire...

edit: don't know where I came up wit 24F/26R, but checking my service manual, under technical data it states 26 F/R, and under routine maintenance it states, one 168 lb. rider 22F/24R, two riders 24/28, and two riders w/ up 100 lbs of luggage, 28/32. all my riding is solo, and i'm coming in around 200 lbs.
are higher pressures recommended with modern tubes and tires?

Hello mate, yes J&P are normally my go to place for tires. Unfortunately they are sold out of Avon Roadrider 100/90/19. I looked many places and in the end found one at "MotoSport.com" and the other is backordered.Jerry,
I get mine from J&P Cycle.They have them with good prices and usually get them 2-3 days.
