Remember the CT is designed to hold up a car and we are using about 1/4 of its ability! Read load limits and then figure you have maybe 500# on the rear tire.

    Lower to 32# and try to forget there is a CT on your bike and just go ride. I truly believe with the Alpine if you did not look and no one told you...you would not know! Right now you are feeling every pebble in the road...it will go away and you will stop thinking about it! GREAT tire choice !!!!!
    You know Steve, I have noticed that I am not scraping my pegs as much as I was, since I have mounted this Michellin car tire. Maybe that is a indicator of too much pressure @ 34psi? I will drop it to 32psi per yor suggestion and see how that goes.

    Thanks!
