Come On BRP...Really

[Bob Denman]

It's worth a try... :dontknow:
I'd be concerned about siffening up the sidewalls too much...
The flexing that they do, is kind of relied upon by the manufacturers as part of the suspension's ability to soak up bumps.

a friend of mine said to put 25 in the fronts - haven't tried it yet but....

That's what I'm running and it seems ok to me. Stops a lot of the tire roll in the corners and not noticably worse on our "frost heaved" NH roads. I looked at the tire and it says no less than 15 and no more than 30 so I figure I'm pretty safe

Putting some extra air to stiffen up the sidewall is a good idea. Less body roll, and keeps the sidewall from compressing too much allowing pot holes to reach the rim. I've got 22 lbs in the front. Will move up to 24lbs. next. Had a long discussion with a BMW engineer who advised to run the tires to the sidewall max. The tires will resist punctures and blowouts and protect the rims better. Said to do this with bikes and cars. nojoke Tom :trike:

As I read the side of the tire, the sidewall max is 30. It just cautions not to run less that 15. My guess is that BRP spec's 20 for the "cushy" ride, not for cornering performance. Mine cane with 18 psi and I first raised it to 20 and saw no noticable difference. I went to 25 and the tire roll was noticeably less with not a lot of degradation in the ride. I suppose I should try 30 just to say I've tried it, but ........

Are those that are finding that their tyres are wearing out quicker mainly riding two up ?

Sorry about the spelling of tyres, but I'm English.

Not me, I have never ridden two up?
