HELP: What is the correct tyre pressure for (oversized) 120/80 r17?

01-24-2010, 03:48 AM

hi guys !

i have installed a new rear tyre on my p-150. its a MRF ZAPPER C - 120/80 r 17 tubeless.

bajaj recommends a tyre pressure of 32psi in its stock tyres (100/90 r 17), but i have heard tht oversized tyres shud have more inflation pressure.

is it true? if yes, then how much?

as far as I know, Pressure is relative, which means it is x psi per sq cm or inch.

Most of the two wheelers would have 32 psi as rear without pillion and with pillion it is 35 psi.

Size perhaps doesnt matter that much.

Its not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!
