Noticed today that my rear tire has more wear on it than my front tire does is that normal? Also what‘s the proper psi for my bicycle? I have 20 psi n them now is that too much? My rear tire was flat and I fixed it with tire sealant.
Ok, you really need to read up on some S197 forums on this but I'll break it down to you. First off, T/A is wrong. CAI systems do work especially under high rpm situations because your stock intake tube is a rubber piece. It collapses in situations of high vaccum. As for the S197 cars the issue is the Spanish Oak computers. Yes the K+N CAI does add power but the minute you put it on a dyno and check the F/A ratio, you will find that there are moments the car runs lean. not just lean but very lean. With these cars you need a CAI AND a tuner to get it properly tuned. This is why you see other brands toting a much higher figure (usually about +28 HP or so). And I'm betting some of those no name brands aren't really no name brands, but just brands you aren't familiar with (like JLT or GMS).

Uneven tire wear on my 26in Mountain bike? Noticed today that my rear tire has more wear on it than my front tire does is that normal? yes more weight on the back Also what's the proper psi for my bicycle? look at the tire, it states the max - put that in I have 20 psi n them now is that too much? no, way too little guaranteed My rear tire was flat and I fixed it with tire sealant. that won;t work just makes a mess if it appears to work it is only because it didn;t have a leak to begin with tires leak in a month or so even with no holes wle
Some tires indicate the max pressure and some tires indicate both max/min. Check the tire walls and stay on those limits at all times. Close to the max. better, especially if you ride mostly in pavement. For a mountain bike it should be about 40 PSI MIN up to 80 PSI MAX. Most likely around 60 PSI. Not only there is more wight on the rear tire, it is also the one that has traction that is why it wears faster. Sealant may help with some minor leaks but it will make it impossible to put a patch later on. If you have a real puncture, you will then have to replace the tube. I use a tubeless on the front of one of my road bikes and in those you can't use patches so I do use the sealant, but I am also ready to replace it on the road with inner tube and tire. If you travel far from home you need to be able to patch and also is good practice to carry a spare.
1) Yes.back tires wear out faster because there is more weight placed upon them. #2) Proper tire inflation is clearly stamped on the sidewall of every tire made - by law - no matter what type of tire. 20 psi is WAY too low. Most mountain bike tires run somewhere between 40 - 65 psi. #3) Tire sealant does not work - period. It can throw a tire off balance, it smells like s***, and most importantly - it voids any tire or tube warranty.
