QUOTE(1tanmee @ Feb 7 2017, 11:17 PM) not more air = lesser contact to the ground = less drag = lesser fuel meh?  QUOTE(6UE5T @ Feb 8 2017, 12:27 AM) How so?? That doesn't make sense. i know right... i thought like that too thats why i pump a bit more.. but my fuel consumption dipped   .. usually i can get about 420 to 450 km per tank but if i pump more air it drops to about 400 km per tank.. tested it over the past year using michelin xm2 tyres .. how about your experience? |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Feb 8 2017, 11:44 AM) Pump 1 more psi should not make much noticeable difference but it also should not make the FC worse. I suspect is more about the driving style or the tires. You need to measure correctly also to really draw a conclusion. can share your experience with different psi settings and your tyres? |
