I use 120 r and 115 f psi in my tires. I am going on a ride today. It is not raining but the roads are wet. Sould I decrease the psi in my tires? If so, how much?

Thanks!

by the time we ride today , the roads will have been dried off, but lower your tire pressure and while your at it get rid of those skinny tires and go to 25 mm with lower pressures down to 90 psi .

I have far fewer flats running 25c tires at around 95 psi in the rain. I weigh 155; if you're over 200 you might want to go about 105-110.

Sorry. My advanced age, I guess. I changed my post.


Sorry Senile Sandy
