Does anyone have a recommended tire pressure
for pilot powers on a XB 12 for aggressive
street riding. Thanks

hot weather i run 36 front 38 rear.

Those tires are awesome!!

I have over 4k on mine and they still have around 1500 left on them ATLEAST...I dont do burn outs and always keep up on checking my tire pressures. It makes a difference on longevity.

The Michelin UK site recommends 2.3 bars front, 2.5 bars rear. That is what I run in my pilot powers, no slipping great wear.

Thanks Rsh
Went out for 2 hours on some twisty backroads
along the natches trace.The 2.3 F 2.5 R
[ according to my calculations 33 F 36 R ]
feels much better than the 36 F 38 R that
I put in the tires after mounting them.
Thanks again.
