    Another winner ….. I strongly suggest a psi of 15-16 lbs...…. the tire will perform at it's best at those psi's …. plus the ride will be more comfortable ….. and keep us informed on how the ride is for you … good luck …. Mike

    At almost 5,000 miles now, I sure do like mine. Running @ 15psi. Handling is better, and it tracks straighter down the road than the Kendas did.
