Vredestein Tire Pressures

[teninospyder]

Question for those running Vredestein 175/55/R15 on the front of a Spyder. Get ours today - whenever the truck from Reno gets here. Local tire store will mount for me.
We almost always run 2 up, at close to 400# "load" weight.
Based on your experience (and not trying to make a Formula 1 race car out of our Spyder), what tire pressure are you running for optimum wear and performance?

I run stock pressure on my vredstein and always tell customers that brand should not change tire pressure

Your 2014 Operator's Guide says 20 psi +/- 3 psi. I'm running my Federal EVO 595s at 18 and am still playing with the pressure; not looking to hot rod it but want very good front traction.

I have been playing with the pressure a little and just went to 20# front and 22# rear...
so far this is my favorite combo! I ryde an F3t. I have vredesteins on all 3 wheels.

Just FYI.... really.........…. My 2014RTL is stickered under the seat with tire pressure as 20+/-2 psi. I miss spoke when I said 16-18 as BRP spec. That is MY historic range for the Kenda fronts (which now are approaching 30,000 miles). No biggy on the "spec" difference. Appreciate all inputs on my original question.

I am running 18# in mine. They are mounted on the F3. So far great handling on dry as well as wet roads.

Right now I'm at 20 front, 22 rear. That's what Netzely's does to start out with. Only put 70 miles on them on the way home. The ride and handling was awesome. Quicker turning,very cushioned ride. Very happy. Tom

18 psi all the way around. Vredesteins in from. Kumho on rear. 400 lbs. between rider and passenger. We are both happy with this setup.
