• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What is the recommended Tire pressure for a Canyon?

The Operator's Guide for my Spyder has a section on tire pressure.
It even has a picture of the sticker/label under the driver's seat that shows the recommended tire pressures.
 
What is the recommended tire pressures of the Canyon? I have found the dealer usually puts in too much air.
You guys are pretty brutal. I have an owner's manual. I was just asking about your recommended tire pressures. On my RTL I ran the fronts at 20psi and they lasted very well. My original rear last about 11,000 miles. I put on a Vredstein and had 25,000 miles on it at 20psi. I put on a rear the LaMonster sells and he recommended 28psi. I was curious what others run and and had success at getting the most miles out of the tires.
 
If you have a OEM Kenda (or Kanine), you put in 28#. Some might run 26# in hopes to shorten center wear. If you have a car tire (Vredestein), I'd think 17-18# would be good.
 
If you are still running the OEM tires, then they really NEED the manufacturer's recommended pressures due to their lightweight construction! The front tires are lightly loaded and relatively narrow, so should wear fairly well. The rear will wear in the centre pretty much regardless of pressure you run anyway, altho the XGS (still a Kenda, just a different tread pattern!) may chew the outer tread blocks a little more, especially if used on loose &/or aggressive surfaces. And if you aren't lucky enough to fluke a good OEM tire or three, you may well find that you have other tire issues due to the OEM tires poor quality control during manufacture - many do (probably most?! Even if they may not realise it! :cautious:)

But when it comes to tire pressures on Spyders (any models, including Canyons) the weight/loading of the Spyder is close enough across the board that it really makes very little difference which model you are riding, the pressure required in the tires is going to be pretty much the same; the OEM tires NEED the manufacturer recommended pressures, as does any Kenda clone, including Arachnids, Kanines, XGS; and any quality 'real' car tire (as opposed to the lightly made lesser quality OEM tires that are also 'car' tires!) will only need around 18 psi because of their better/stronger construction and the resulting capability of those tires to keep more of the tread in contact with the road surface all the time! ;)

So it won't hurt to Search on Tire Pressure and do some reading - there's no significant difference between the Canyons and any other Spyder, the weight range and loading on the tires does not change enough to warrant any significant variation in the pressures needed, altho your specific use might warrant a variation of maybe +/- 2psi or so. Just don't run any tire below 14 psi for very long - ever! (y)
