Re: Tyre Pressures - AdieR - 23-06-13
I'm OCD about tyres - pressure and condition - the thought of one failing at speed doesn't bear thinking about, and it only needs 2 minutes to check.
I'm running mine at 33F / 36R; any different and I'll notice it straight away.
Over inflated tyres won't heat up properly (thus won't grip properly either) and under inflation leads to excess flex in the tyre, which leads to overheating, and increases risk of a potential blow-out. Not only that, but even if pressures are only slightly out, it'll definitely have and effect on fuel economy too.

Some check more often than others and that is their preference. I always do a visual before riding but I know that this can be misleading as rubber can go hard with age and UV degradation so therefor even with a kick or squeeze could lead to a false sense of security. Tyres can go at any time and you did the right thing on noticing it as all the checks in the world do not make us immune of the unforeseen.
