Singing Tires

[bob109]

Temps got into the mid 50s today. Perfect time to test the handling with the newly installed fork brace. I like it. I did notice that both my tires started singing as I leaned her over more then usual through the corners. Don't recall hearing that. Maybe it's because I had the tunes turned off. I got 7200 miles on the tires with good tread depth and the tires don't appear to be cupped or feathered. I run the recommended tire pressure of 36F / 41 rear. I was hoping to get 10,000 miles out of the Stones before I go to Elite 4s.

FOBO should arrive via FedEx on Saturday. I'll be watching TPs like a hawk instead of every couple of weeks like I had been doing.

My part time job is 5 miles away; but, I found a 35 mile shortcut home. I think my wife understands my new math.

As has been mentioned, try "jacking/upping" your front pressure to 40PSI! The 36 psi recommended by Honda will quickly induce cupping!

Duh, stupid me. I had been running 38F / 40R. This morning I reset the TP to those recommended by Honda. It was after that I noticed the new sounds. Guess the easiest thing to do is increase the TP and see what happens. Don't know why this piece of critical info slipped my mind.

Thanks for the reminder.

Mine does the same the thing. Got new tyres and it's not as noticeable. Just the wear difference as said before.

Cupping might be riding "style" induced. I stick to 36 psi and have 14,500 on front tire with no cupping. Will change it in another 1,000 as it will be down to the wear bars. 36 psi also a lot smoother than 40 psi. Rear replaced at 13,300.
