Quick question for you tire experts out there.. In the 3 years I've been riding my 850 touring.. I've gone against the grain with my tire pressure (stock tires), and typically run 10lbs all the way around.. The manual calls for 7lbs for the front front and 5lbs for the rear.. I suppose I've kind of answered my own question as 10lbs has worked for me pretty well so far.. That is to say I've never lost a bead and the ride doesn't seem overly harsh as a result of the higher pressures i've been running.. Just thought I'd ask because i was considering setting the pressures to spec as i prepare to head out for a 3 day back woods run in norther ontario this thursday.. Just seems that when I push on the tires at the recommended pressures, they feel soft.. Am I over thinking it?.. Does a few lbs either way really matter?..
