    Default What's the best pressure for Quatrac front tires on 2022 F3-L?

    Just installed new Vredestein Quac 175/55 R15 front tires and
    General Altimax Rt43 225/60 R15 rear.
    Question is what, would be the best air pressure to use?
    I am an aggressive driver.
    Thanks for the help

    I had the Vredesteins on my ST. I weigh 155 lbs. I put almost 30K miles on them before I sold the bike. At least 10K of that was in the Applachians and they looked like the had another 20K left when run at a constant 18 lbs.

    I have them on my RT, for NORMAL riding 15 psi is fine ..... for aggressive riding I use 17 psi ..... with any tire the higher the PSI there will be a commensurate loss in COMFORT .... any Auto tire used on a Spyder will begin to lose it's TRACTION if the PSI's are above 22 PSI, the higher the PSI the more loss in traction. I've said this dozens of times, the TIRES are an integral part of the Suspension. ..... Mike

    I ride in a more "spirited" fashion and 18 all the way around gets better gas mileage, 16 gets better grip.

    Well I'm guessing He wanted two of the best tires available ..... And those 175/55-15's will fit without issues, but they are about as large that will ...... Mike

    Didn't notice if you stated what model you have, RT or F3. I ride a 2019 F3L with the Vredstein fron tires and Kenda rear. I'm an agreesive rider myself. 18 lbs for the front and 28 in rear.

    Easy way to tell if you are at the correct pressure is to start with the recommendations here, ride like you normally do for at least 30 minutes then measure the pressure. If you see about 4 psi rise you are golden. If more than 4 psi rise you need to add air. If you only see a 2 psi rise drop the cold pressure by a pound or so. Rinse and repeat.

    I've been running 18 in mine since I installed them a couple years ago. They still look new.
