Optimal Tyre Pressure - KX-R 17"

[liebs73]

Can anyone tell me the optimal tyre pressure for 17" tyres on my KX-R

I seem to recall 220KPA being the recommended - can I go higher?

You can try 38psi front and 34psi back COLD.

Safe to have front and back the same?

Because the front of your car weighs more it's a better option to have the front tyres at a higher psi.

When i had both back and front at the same psi i lost traction because of the tyre not having enough contact at the back and also more body roll.

how about for the 19" tyre (KX-S and Grande). What is the ideal tyre pressure.

Depends what you want. Handling or comfort? But i say 38/36 psi front/back for a kluger is optimal for both areas.
