I have a 1992 yamaha fzr 600 with sportbike tires on it. bridgestones. How high should they be pumped up?
The correct pressure is the one on the car door.The pressure on the tire is the max that the tire can be inflated to.The tire shop knows what type tire that your car needs and that is what they gave you and the folks that made the car know what tire pressure the car needs to get the best performance also if you have the owners manual that came with the car it will also give you the correct pressure and I am certain that it is not 45.Most passenger cars tire pressure is ususlly some where between 28 and 32 PSI.Your husband is wrong
The loss could be from any one or more causes. A puncture in the tire/tube, a cut in the tire/tube, or a leak in the valve or rim. Tears/and/or cuts are NEVER repairable without replacing the tire and/or tube. Punctures are repairable in most cases by patching from the inside of the tire. If it's a tubed tire, then you'll have to replace the tube. Make sure the object which puctured the tire is removed prior to replacing the tube. Several states have laws prohibiting repair of a tubeless motorcycle tire, and these require that the tire be replaced (if done by a commercial shop). Slime works well as an expedient repair if used according to instructions, but some sealants may contain chemicals which are corrosive to aluminum alloy, so be careful, and read the directions. I agree that using slime may cause tire imbalance, but I have it my rear tire, and I'm not noticed any difference in balance. In any case, replacing a tire is enough hassle that I would take my bike in, if I needed to dismount a tire - especially a rear wheel. One last point, ALWAYS double check the hardware when you get home from the shop to ensire the shop tech didn't overlook a nut or bolt which may fll off or fail when you're out riding. Ride safely, JB
33/36 sounds good, but why don't you look on the tires themselves? Air pressure requirements are embossed on the sidewalls. If you can't read them because either the tires or your eyes are blurred, then the information is repeated in the manual, provided you have still OEM tires on the bike. Finally, like cars, you'll need to adjust the pressure to road and weather conditions. Over-inflated tires don't grip as well as they might; under-inflated tires wallow and heat up. Find a ride that suits your weight, make a note of it, and in all cases keep the rubber side down. Then you're jake.
Could you advise the what is the correct tire pressure for 19 inch Rim? The Tire size is 275/30/19.
