Darkside Road King

Just ordered a 195/60-16 MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER 89V for my 2009 Road King.

It will be a few days before it gets here, and I am wondering how you guys determine your initial tire pressure?

I started at 38 and droped it around 2 psi at a time, ended up at 34 most of the time,sometimes drop it to 32 depending on where I am riding.

Congrats on the Darkside for the HD!!!! Welcome to the wonderful world of the darkside!

Please post some pics!

Got the tire on and decided to start at 35 psi. I'm taking it slow until I get comfortable with the tire. It is a different feel and the increase in traction is noticeable. One major difference I noted right away - riding on gravel. I live at the end of a long gravel driveway and the car tire provides a much more stable feel riding in gravel.

I'll post up some pics shortly.

A couple of photos of the tire mounted. Started at 35 PSI, but it felt unresponsive to me, so I went up to 38 PSI. I am going to keep it there for awhile until I get some more miles on. May try 40 after that.
