Tyre Pressures ???
Hi folks, Can anybody tell me the correct pressures for Pirrelli Diablo's on my 916 please ??
I am presently running 28 psi front and 32 rear, whilst "squishy" to begin with, they soon feel stable as they warm up,, but I am conviced this is bit low for road use.
the owners handbook for various ducati's i've had has reccommended 32/35 on original tyres (Michelins and Pirellis) and the tyre manufacturers guides, including Bridgestone, as i used 010's for quite some time.
More recently if you look at tyre manufactuers guides they are going for the standard catch all 36/42 for exactly the same tyres on the same bikes that were 32/36 the year before.
Wonder where you would stand with a crash investigator if you were found with the original far lower pressures that were OK last year, but not now?
Pirelli suggests some surprisingly high pressures to run in the Diablo, even for track-day fun. It recommends 32 psi in the front and 39 in the rear, and Pirelli says extra tire life on the street can be had by running 36 in the front and 42 in the rear.
