PSI?
Hey guys I have BT016 150/60 Rear and 110/70 Front. I run 30 PSI on each. Does that sound about right? Any comments or suggestions?? Thanks everyone!

anywhere around the stock recommended pressures seem to work well.
I use 28/28 with those same tires, but use the bike mostly for canyon work. |

Not to tread jack, but have you guys felt any adverse problems by having those tires? I really would like to get a set of the bt-016, since I have heard they are decent for commuting and good on the track. Just don't want to create issues. Thanks!

I've had no problems with them... what are your concerns? there are tons of threads about these particular tires on ninjette.

From the treads I read my main concerns were the pinching of the rim (is that something to worry about I see people talk about it and then no ill effects are discussed), the alteration of the tire profile, and reduced handling. I guess the main thing that bothers me is if squeezing that size tire on there is going to make it unstable when riding in any condition.

I do a little bit of everything. I ride in town, on the highway, and twisty backroads. I am happy with the tires and feel more confident with them. They are sticky and the traction is great.
