40 front 48 rear and just got 15000 mi out of rear and still running front at 21000 mi

on a 2003 venture

Just curious mega2500 if you do mostly two up riding or pull a trailer. 48lbs. Seems high pressure. I've been running venoms for several year (3rd set) and my last rear gave me approx.9k miles and seemed that the 42 lbs. I ran in it, wore out the center and 98% of my riding is two up.

One I got now cracking so bad I won't go that way again.

I was thinking I had read on here to run MAX psi on the rear..... just didn't know about the front

[mega2500]

30% two up the rest is 250# driver

50% loaded on trips 65-75mph just driver 4000mi in july at 90-100* 2000mi in aug 90*

20% combo of two up or alone at 55-65mph

mph is with gps not speedo

no trailer

21000mi front is just starting sidewall cracks but only has 1000mi left

[Barrycuda]

I've always had them 40/40 or at times 40/42. Nitrogen

[aharbi]

I run the same tires. 42 front, 50 rear. Most of my riding is 2-up

[Sailor]

40 front, 45 rear. Nearly all my riding is one up.

I queried Avon about this a few years back. Here are the parameters I applied and the recommendations from Avon

 

 

 

Bike - XVZ 1300 Royal Star, Venture, Classic, Tour Deluxe

Tire Model - Venom

Tire Size - 150/90B15 80H

Tool Kit - 15 Lbs

Rider Weight - 200 Lbs

Passenger Weight - 150 Lbs

Baggage Weight - 50 Lbs

 

 

It is my understanding that different weights will change the optimum tire pressure.

Can you please advise the optimum tire pressure for the following configurations as

well as if there is a formula I can use to determine the optimum tire pressure based on load weight?

 

Configuration 1 - Tool Kit, Rider -

Configuration 2 - Tool Kit, Rider, Passenger

Configuration 3 - Tool Kit, Rider, Passenger, Baggage weight

 

Configuration 1 - Tool Kit, Rider - - 36 front 42 rear

Configuration 2 - Tool Kit, Rider, Passenger - - 37 front 44 rear

Configuration 3 - Tool Kit, Rider, Passenger, Baggage - - 38 front 45 rear
