so I pick my bike up the other day after having the front springs changed to hagon progressives, so the guy says to me oh your tyre pressures were really low so we did those for you.
So handling mucho improved i went out today and front seemed a bit vague so I think maybe it's got a slow leak hence the low pressures at the garage... so I go to the petrol garage compressor and turns out they've put 44psi front and 48psi back !!!
Sooo I put them back to 36 and 39 as per manual and it rode like it got flat tyres , dodgy compressor gauge me thinks so go to next garage and yup it was right so I put 44 and 48 back in and it's improved again.
44 and 48 seems too high and so do I keep them or drop them back ? They are metzeler tyres so would that make a difference, anyone else got or had similar ???
