zebulon:
For gravel road , off road utilization, how much do you inflate? Question is on Varadero section, but Xtourer or other bike can answer too  VCIF_salut

MrKiwi:
I run no lower than 32 rear and 28 psi front to maintain some flexibility for mixed gravel / tarmac. Any lower you start to get severe tyres wear.

Normally I run 42 rear and 36 front.

I understand that

32psi = 2.20
28psi = 1.93
42psi = 2.90
36psi = 2.50

TiuSo:
On my crosstourer:
all day gravel (fast): 2.0 front, 2.0 rear
mixed roads: 2.2 front, 2.3 rear
sealed road (asphalt): 2.5 front, 3.0 rear
track days: 2.2 front, 2.3 rear

Nearly half of my mileage comes from driving gravel, going nowhere... I seldom do weekend trips nowadays, typically 200 - 300 blast after work.
