Picked up some Corsa Gs this week and was a bit disappointed that they're listed at 87-145 PSI on the tyre. Didn't notice that when ai was shopping around unfortunately. Was going to fit them in the missus' bike and she's around 55kg. Tyres are 25mm. Usually run 85/80 on her 2000sIIs, and let them go lower.

Only puncture she's ever had was when went under the recommended PSI on some Rubino Pros. 90 PSI. Find her a different tan wall tyre?

Wanted the Corsa Gs for myself anyway :)

The manufacturers aren't the ones who come up with those guidelines, it's their lawyers who do that ;-)
