I see many of you guys are running tyres in high 30's (psi). So is the recommended tyre pressure 210kpa (31psi) too low?

Plenty of threads already discussing this:

Excessive wear front outside tires

Thanks mate.

The oem tyre are $$$, unless you can find it cheap via ebay when others upgrade to 20" or the like.

Also ive had 2 punctures luckily both were repairable...Though $27.50 each time. Maybe as it will be a spare, when one of us upgrades to new tyres and has a spare at the store, maybe they can give it to you as it will only be a spare anyway??

I'll be replacing mine december onward or when the fronts are worn, could be longer.

Yeah, that would be ideal for me. I would owe whoever spare that to me a lot of beers:)

Cut the tyre in half, paint it white, and use the 2 halves to frame the edge of your driveway. :)

That's very interesting. I might do that. Speaking of driveway, I have very annoying stains left by tyre spray...:( Is there any effective way of cleaning that?

Any puncture on the sidewall of a tire (inside or out) is not repairable.

Thanks mate. Gotta look for a new tyre then.

Yesterday wasn't my day... Got my KX-S late May from Motorama. Now 5000k'ish... Tyre (rear-right) suddenly went flat when I was driving.

Rang RACQ and got it replaced with the spare.

The puncture is weird, on the inner side wall of the tyre... Does this suggest anything? Is it fixable? Don't tyres come with any warranty?

Sorry for the many questions.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Twiggy, here's a few photos of the ebay side steps. The main noticeable difference is the bolt under the side step that attaches them to the brackets. Apart from that, they look pretty close to the originals.

Thanks for the nice pics. Could you please post the link to the ebay item ($380)? as I could only find the $370 one with sharp ends.
