Car tire on rear

[peterbooth]

I just installed a car tire on my motorbike (with a sidecar) and was looking for suggested tire pressure. The tire is a Nankang CX668 165/80 R15 87T BSW (AS).

 

Anyone with this type of setup please respond

 

 

Thanks

Hi there;

 

I can't answer your question but...

 

How easy did the tire seat on your rim? Do you know at what pressure it seated?

I just put a Voyager kit on & my next tire change will be a CT now. The Kumo was a *****!

 

Thanks,

JohnB

I have a Kumho (used) to mount on my rear wheel, thanks to Mike G in SC. It will be mounted soon and installed on my 02 RSMV w/ Hannigan Classic sidecar. I will start out at 44 psi and work with that +/-. Best I can give you, it is always a trial and error.

Not sure, I didn't watch. The installer told me it was no problem.

Peter,

Jim is probably right, trial/error. (You're welcome, Jim)

I was running mid to low 40's but was reading threads with higher.

 

But you might browse the "Dark Side" tech forum on this site for info.
