Ok, I've had my K60s for just over a week. They are a great feeling tire so far, but I am struggling with what pressure to run them at on the slab. The number on the sidewalls says max pressure is 36 PSI cold, but I read about people running them higher around 40 to 40+. I am currently running 32 front and 35 rear (25-28 in the dirt), but get a little squirm from the front when running on the freeway which is probably from the rain grooves cut into the slab. I don't push the bike super hard on the slab...I leave that for the dirt (I find myself far more aggressive in the dirt than the slab as that is where most of my experience comes from). So, what's the general consensus on PSI for these tires on the road? Thanks for any insight and sorry for another cursed K60 tire thread.

Run the rear at 36 and bump the front to 34.

Also, they will track better after about 1000 miles as the sharp edges on the tread blocks will have been knocked down a bit.

In the dirt I always run 25 front and rear with no issues.

Ok, so I am close to where I should be. It's confusing since I know there are other variables like riding style, etc., but it seems like some people run them over the manufacturer's recommendations.

This is a newer world to me. :)
