Need some info on optimum tyre pressures for Bridgestone Trail wings best info i currently have is 29psi, but thats from a honda discussion board, so may not sort the Tiger. I've heard that trail wings are a little sensitive to tyre pressures.

Personally, I would start with the Triumph standard pressures if the tyres are the same sizes as standard. 29 sounds very low to me.

contact Bridgestone direct. They are normally very happen to give out recommendations

29psi is very low,the standard pressures are 36psi front and 42psi rear,thats for pirrelli scorpions,and all standard fitment tyres on tigers,inc michelin T66X,and metzeler enduro 4,and tourance,so i would have said the same for bridgstone trail wings

36 front and 42 rear is the standard pressure for every Triumph model.I have talked to experts and is is perfectly ok to drop each tyre by 2psi.I have run these lower pressures on all 5 Triumphs I've had and the results are fine.

the Pilot Roads seemed to prefer 2psi lower front and back from standard.

I am running 34 front 40 rear on my Bridgestone Battle Wings, which is 2 psi down on standard pressure and they work a treat.
The standard settings were just too firm.

I've just had Pilot Roads fitted today by a specialist (rx-racer and knows his stuff).He's recommended 32 front and 36 rear.I ran these pressures on my Daytona and was impressed so will try the Tiger on these as well.
