The max pressure rated for the Goodyear Eagle F1 that I'm using is 51psi. That's still a lot higher than the 40psi I'm using and even with the 10% increase after the tyre gets hot, I'm still safe.

I guess the wider tracks do compensate when filling up to 40psi. On a 15"-er, it'll start hinting a whee bit of grip loss, especially in the rain.

That is nothing compared to my spare tyre. Recommended pressure is 60psi. Petronas pumps only go up to 58psi. I had to use Shell tyre pumps to fill it up to 60psi.

Had the same problem with my spare too tongue.gif Using one from a Waja.

At one instance, the entire tip/faucet popped off the tube while filling up! shocking.gif Had to quietly stuff it back into the tube & leave tongue.gif Pity the next quy using it sad.gif

The wider tracks would aquaplane easier in the rain but the wet weather properties in the F1 makes up for it. So far, nothing comes close to F1 when it comes to handling in the wet and I just love it when I leave my fellow friends in AD07 in a spray of water during rain.

True, true. Closest rivals would be the Proxess thumbup.gif
Really regret opting for non-rotational Ziex sad.gif
