what are the recommended cold/hot pressures?
You're right... I thought i read something i didn't. A friend used q2's last year and I believe that's where I got those pressures from. I think he found the best pressures to be in the mid 20's cold... but I am going to ask to make sure.G2G;187137 wrote: It does not state the 32 32 is a hot pressure. If you don't know call.

Your hot pressures are the same what I ran when I used Q2's!Bike handled nice,just be carefull when summer heat comes (95 deg. and up)Southerly;187087 wrote: Is that 32/32 hot? When I got the Q2s installed last year at the track I was told that the recommended pressure was 29r/32f hot which is what I have been running. Does it depend on the bike as well?
mikey or anyone else who's interested, this is directly from steve's post on the css forum.Mikey75702;187166 wrote: You're right... I thought i read something i didn't.

interesting...when i used those types of air pressure, it felt like i was riding on an ice skating rink. it was so bad, i was ready to switch from the Q2s to any other brand of tire over lunch.Lonewrench;186549 wrote: 32/32
I just made the switch to Q2's and I sure hope I dont see this myself!Fastguy;187286 wrote:

Rob, it is my understanding that the separation you see if from the angular joining of the surface rubber. I first learned of this when reading about Dunlops made in Europe VS US made rubber. The angle which they are joined was the given reason that you should not flip a US tire.Fastguy;187286 wrote: Well I have a question that Ive posted and asked a couple of times before but have not gotten a reasonable explaination.

I currently have a rear that I have not flipped thats beginning to "separate".
Other riders have indicated that they too have had this issue happen. I dont think that I can run over something with different sets of rears.

Someone told me to aim for 31F/29R HOT pressures and that made the tires felt 1000% better. Since I've been using that pressure, i recommended these tires to everyone. They felt better than the 209s I was using.
I start cold pressures with about 23-25 pounds in the rear (depending on the weather) and about 28-29 in the front and the tires feel awesome when they warm up.
But I'm a lowly rider, so take it for what its worth.
